Apache starts without any complaint, but upon the first request, (whether this request is http or https), the error log rapidly fills with segfaults - many per second until I stop the Apache service. I see the following in /var/log/apache2/error_log when the server starts: [Tue Sep 30 21:42:14 2008] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Tue Sep 30 21:42:20 2008] [notice] Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g configured -- resuming normal operations And then, when the first request comes in, I see innumerable entries like this: [Tue Sep 30 21:42:55 2008] [notice] child pid 6435 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) I'm using APACHE2_OPTS="-D DEFAULT_VHOST -D PROXY -D SSL -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST" "uname -a" says: Linux muttley 2.6.26-hardened-r1-muttley-1-misc #4 Mon Sep 1 21:19:16 UTC 2008 ppc G2_LE Efika 5200B PowerPC System GNU/Linux My CHOST is powerpc-gentoo-linux-uclibc I haven't included emerge --info since this isn't a build problem, but of course I'll provide it if it's relevant anyway. Apache functions perfectly if -D SSL_DEFAULT_VHOST is removed from its options.
Please post your `emerge --info' too.

please provide a backtrace from gdb while running apache with -X
Sorry to leave this hanging for such a long time - I've now upgraded to uClibc 0.9.30 and the problem has gone away.
