oh, I check it is PHP that crashes, by changing the extention and action to html. 
Then it works.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Hmm, after I compiled with debug enabled, restarted apache and accessed this 
script, the crash did not occur. Once I enabled the non debug version (and 
restarted apache) it still did not occur (?). I don't know what is going on (I did 
not restart my computer overnight), but it seems for now I can submit multipart 
forms... I'll keep an eye on it and when it happens again I'll try to submit a 
backtrace.
