I'm having a problem with apache-1.3.33 on a Release 2.3 systems
running on SuSE Linux Enterprise System 9 (SLES9) and SuSE 9.2
Professional where the apache process is segfaulting on every
request when mod_dav is enabled.

As I remember, this seems to be a long-standing problem as I had
disabled mod_dav in our apache builds quite a while back because
of segfaults, but nover had any reason to deal with the problem
until last week.

I have attached the output of ``openpkg rpm -qi apache'' to show
what options are enabled, a gzip'ed copy of the apache.spec file
which has been slightly modified from the stock Release 2.3
version to deal with some missing libraries, and a gzip'ed file
with the output of ``strace apache -X'' after setting then
environemt manually with the apache.sh file used by rc.apache run
control.  The process runs until a request comes in, then it dies
shortly after the munmap command.

Looking at the sources, I think that the problem may be in the
file, apache_1.3.33/src/main/http_core.c, since that seems to be
the only file referencing htaccess and munmap, but that's only a
SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess) on my part.

FWIW, a slightly older version of apache, apache-1.3.31, with
similar options and mod_dav enabled is working on a FreeBSD 4.8
system here that's running OpenPKG Release 2.2 (mostly).

Has anybody here seen similar problems?

Description:
    The Apache Project is a collaborative software development effort
    aimed at creating a robust, commercial-grade, featureful, and
    freely-available source code implementation of an HTTP (Web) server.
    The project is jointly managed by a group of volunteers located
    around the world, using the Internet and the Web to communicate,
    plan, and develop the server and its related documentation. These
    volunteers are known as the Apache Group. In addition, hundreds
    of users have contributed ideas, code, and documentation to the
    project.
