Description:
------------
If you install php4 while your server is running, it adds its LoadModule  
line to the httpd.conf file as you'd expect.  If you run "apachectl  
restart", which executes a non-graceful restart of apache, it succeeds,  
also as you'd expect.  But from then on, all requests cause the child  
process to segfault.  If you stop Apache and start it back up again, then  
it works as expected.  This is obviously a non-critical problem since it's a  
one-time deal and it's easy to work around.  Seemed worth reporting  
anyway.  My guess from the backtrace (where you can see it's trying to  
lock a pthread mutex from the tsrm) is that because I just restarted  
rather than stopping and restarting, the tsrm did not have a chance to  
initialize the pthread mutex that it's trying to lock (hence the null  
mutexp pointer). 

Expected result:
----------------
 

Actual result:
--------------

Does this work with some other (similar) DSO as PHP is..?
This 'bug' actually has existed since Apache 1.3.x. Doing 'make install' and 'apachectl restart' has never really worked. (See para 17. in example 3-4: http://fi.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php)

well, it /seems/ to work with mod_perl, does that count?  :) 
 
anyway, like i said, it's non-critical.

Maybe we're doing something wrong then? I don't remember what the exact reason for this 'bug' is..I think it had something to do with the double init by Apache, iirc. 

Reclassifying as 'non-critical' :)

It's always safer to do real restart.
