Hello all. I need some help solving the dreaded segmentation fault that 
has cropped several time on this board. I have read the link 
http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash 
<http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash>and 
followed the step and have uncovered the following.


 > ldd    /usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/bin/httpd | grep expat
    libexpat.so.0 => /lib/libexpat.so.0 (0x00d70000)

 > strings /lib/libexpat.so.0  | grep expat_
expat_1.95.8

 >  ps aux | grep http | head -3
webuser  14986  0.0  2.1  54236 19048 ?        S    Mar04   0:01 
/usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/bin/httpd -d /usr/local/httpd-2.2.11 -f 
/usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/conf/httpd.conf
webuser  14987  0.0  3.2 144128 29540 ?        S    Mar04   0:01 
/usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/bin/httpd -d /usr/local/httpd-2.2.11 -f 
/usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/conf/httpd.conf
webuser  14998  0.0  3.2 144212 29660 ?        S    Mar04   0:01 
/usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/bin/httpd -d /usr/local/httpd-2.2.11 -f 
/usr/local/httpd-2.2.11/conf/httpd.conf

 >  /usr/sbin/lsof -p 14986 | grep expat

httpd   14986 webuser  mem    REG     3,5   572313  972637 
/opt/Python/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so
httpd   14986 webuser  mem    REG     3,5   133120 1883791 
/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0

*I am not sure why I get 2 shared libaries here.*

 >  strings  /lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0 | grep expat_
expat_1.95.8


 > strings /opt/Python/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so | grep expat_
pyexpat.expat_CAPI 1.0
expat_CAPI
expat_2.0.0


 >>> import pyexpat
 >>> pyexpat.version_info
(2, 0, 0)


So it seems like I need get expat_1.95.8 apache is using up to 
expat_2.0.0. Can I simply try replacing the 1.95.8 library with 2.0.0. 
Or do I have recompile with Apache? If I do recompile I need to 
recompile apache with mod_python as well?
