Apache 2.x has a option to enable modules to plug into the exception hook. By default this is disabled and needs to be enabled with the compile option "--enable-exception-hook". See here for more info: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mpm_common.html#EnableExceptionHook http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mpm_common.html#EnableExceptionHook The exception hook is a great way to debug crashing Apache installation. Today we only have mod_diagnostics in portage for helping to debug Apache. By enabling the above mentioned option we could add stuff like mod_whatkilledus and mod_backtrace to help to get more information from a crashing Apache instance. Reproducible: Always
We are not touching apache-2.0.x, all all, not going there. :P You can enable this by setting EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-exception-hook" when emerging apache if you really need this.

Will try that. Thanks for that info. Did not know about that possibility.
Reopen, we'll look into adding this w/ USE=debug or whatever similar.
