Segfault with Apache::Request->param method

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/12/02]

Hi all,
New to the list, somewhat new to this whole mod_perl thing. I've got a 
pretty good handle on it but recently I've been getting segfaults when 
calling $apr->param('someparam') ... this appears to be somewhat random 
though it happens within two or three requests when running under -X

Right now I'm running Apache 1.3.31 with mod_perl 1.29. Perl is 5.8.3 on 
Fedora FC1

Here's the output of perl -V

Has anyone else seen behavior like this before?

Thanks!
