hello,

my apache 1.3.14 crashes right after fork, when the php4.0.3pl1 module is configured. It boots nice with the same config file when LoadModule and all php_value and php_flag 
are commented OR when only one or two virtual hosts are set up at the same time. 
It also boots fine with my old apache 1.3.6.

i've compiled both apache and php with -g flag, this is gdb output:

case a: 'normal' config, php4.0.3pl1, about 15 vhosts

it looks like the crash happens in apache, not php code but it seems to be related to the php module being configured in.

hope this helps,
