[mod_python] 3.1.2b InputFilter SegFault (w/Backtrace)

While setting up an InputFilter I ran across a segfault in 3.1.2b.  I 
created an InputFilter to add a few members to the request object 
(filter.req) before the request is sent to the handler and 
OutputFilter.  When run, the InputFilter is processed but the new members 
it adds to the request object are not to be found in the subsequent handler 
or output filter.  After receiving a traceback (PythonDebug On) for trying 
to access non-existent members of the request object the server process 
proceeds to segfault.  Other than setting a few new members to the request 
object, the input filter just calls filter.pass_on().

Extra info: "virtualhost.com" is the virtual host I'm working with.  When 
other virtual hosts are listed before my virtual host, I get their name in 
the second line of the backtrace instead of "virtualhost.com" even though 
the request was made to "virtualhost.com".

The system is Linux 2.4, Apache 2.0.48, and Python 2.3.2.  Apache is 
compiled with the worker_mpm.  Please let me know if there is any other 
information I can provide.
