Hi, I have a lot of these: [Thu Sep 28 18:59:32 2006] [notice] child pid 29290 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) Couple of hundred per week. Also, apache (1.3) is eating memory, untill the server becomes slow and becomes unfunctional. I set MaxRequestsPerChild 30 so the memory is now 'under control', but the segfaults stay. I can't get a core dump either. I tried strace but somehow it doens't work om my debian sarge distro. (strace doesn't work somehow). When I google I can not describe the problem adequately to find the pages with the aswers. It all started around the time of the mod_rewrite bug, but that might be a total coincedence. I am using the mapserver module (php-mapscript) and this might be the problem, but anyway, I am not able to find out what's wrong really. I still need to try the debugging modules though.
