First thing to do would be to try and determine if the python-ldap
module has been compiled against the same version of ldap libraries
that any loaded mod_ldap module used by Apache, or any compiled
in support for ldap in PHP uses.

A mismatch in library versions required for different modules in
the areas of Python, Apache and PHP is usually the cause of
such unexplained seg faults.
