Sounds like maybe a broken vendor DBM library. Are you getting
coredumps (check the error_log for "exit signal Segmentation Fault")?
Are you using SSLSessionCache dbm:(...) ? If so, try temporarily using
SSLSessionCache none and see what happens. (You might try decreasing
the SSLSessionCacheTimeout for testing.) In any case, I'd recommend
going to the shm: variant of the SessionCache. It's much faster. Or at
least, if you're going to use the dbm version, use the built-in SDBM
library by adding --enable-rule=SSL_SDBM when you configure Apache.
Hope this helps,
Cliff
