That appears to have solved my problem. I needed to install DBI and 
DBD::mysql from source after removing the 5.8.0, 5.8.1, and 5.8.2 paths 
from the perl lib tree, because the FC1 distribution apparently came 
with those installed under 5.8.0. But having done that, Apache::AuthDBI 
is authenticating properly, with no segfaults.

Thank you very much for your help.

As far as I'm aware, we're not using threads anywhere on the server. I 
haven't tried building perl with -Uusethreads, no.

Thanks again.
