Python version 2.4, I've tried having it compiled with and without 
thread support.

When I try to start apache with mod_python loading as a .so, I get the 
following:

[Fri Jan 07 15:38:48 2005] [notice] child pid 87015 exit signal 
Segmentation fault (11)
[Fri Jan 07 15:38:48 2005] [notice] child pid 87014 exit signal

Segmentation fault (11)
[Fri Jan 07 15:38:48 2005] [notice] child pid 87009 exit signal 
Segmentation fault (11)

And this is repeated over and over until the server "gives up"

if I run httpd with -X, it doesn't segfault, so I'm thinking it probably 
has something to do with the mpm, but as you see, I'm using a Prefork 
version of apache, so it should be fine.  Has anyone else had this 
happen?  Has anyone found a work around?
