[mod_python] Problems with -HEAD and Apache 2.0.40 on FreeBSD

I tried to get the CVS version working with Apache 2.0.40 on FreeBSD
4.6-STABLE but had no luck :-(

This is what I did:

compiled the FreeBSD apache2 port using WITH_THREADS=1. Which seems to
have worked:

gargamel# ldd /usr/local/sbin/httpd
/usr/local/sbin/httpd:
[...]
libc_r.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 (0x28225000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x282df000)
 
I'm not sure if its ok to link against libc_r and libc at the same time,
though. But as is, Apache seems to display static pages fine. But then,
I have no experience with Apache2 whatsoever.

gargamel# /usr/local/sbin/httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
core.c
prefork.c
http_core.c
mod_so.c

So it looks like it's using the preforked model.

The Python compiled against is the standard FreeBSD port with threads
enabled:
gargamel# ldd /usr/local/bin/python
/usr/local/bin/python:
libutil.so.3 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 (0x280e6000)
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x280ef000)
libc_r.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc_r.so.4 (0x2810b000)

mod_python.so is statically linked against libpython2.2.a, however again
is linked against the normal, nonthreaded libc (!):

gargamel# ldd /usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so
/usr/local/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so:
libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2 (0x281d9000)
libutil.so.3 => /usr/lib/libutil.so.3 (0x281f5000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x28069000)

Needless to say, the results aren't that satisfactory:

[Sun Sep 01 17:32:32 2002] [notice] Apache/2.0.40 (Unix) mod_python/3.0.0-BETA Python/2.2.1 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Sun Sep 01 17:32:39 2002] [notice] child pid 35323 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Sun Sep 01 17:32:39 2002] [notice] child pid 35324 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

All I did was put this line in httpd.conf:
LoadModule python_module libexec/apache2/mod_python.so

I didn't even call a Python handler, yet.

Any clues?
