[mod_python] core dumping in worker MPM - can anyone help with these stack traces?

Hey Everyone,
   Well, as promised, I'm attempting to troubleshoot my problems with the 
worker MPM crashes I'm experiencing.  I rebuilt everything with the -g 
CFLAG and when I examine the core file using gdb I receive the following 
stack traces (I did it three times to see if it reproduced).  btw. I'm 
using mod_python-3.1.1b (not using the latest 'cause my flex is out of 
date) and apache 2.0.48. 

I can provide additional information, but the actual code will be 
difficult to set up since it's an Authen handler going against an Oracle 
database using DCOracle2.

If anyone can provide a path I should go down, I would appreciate it.  I 
don't know the Apache API, and the only line of code that looks to be 
mod_python-ish is
#4  0xfdc2e9b0 in python_merge_config (p=0x67eb68, current_conf=0xdb520, 
new_conf=0xef2f8) at mod_python.c:653

which is this line of code from the source (mod_python.c 
python_merge_config):
    apr_table_overlap(merged_conf->options, nc->options, 
APR_OVERLAP_TABLES_SET);

Again, this runs without issue using the prefork model.

Thanks!
Perry Tew
