In upstreams bug comments, is suggested that the bug can be a regression in gcc 4.5 optimizations [0]

This produces lots of problems with apache in natty (gcc 4.5). Should we mark it as medium importance?

I haven't really looked into this issue in detail and don't know yet if the proposed fix is ok.

But in case you want to ahead with it: Your patch is against the wrong package. srclib/ in apache2 is never compiled. You would have to patch the apr package and rebuild apache2 with the fixed libapr1-dev.

That's weird, the proposed patch is also applied in my personal PPA [0] (where I did the testing) and apache is now working perfectly in my system.

That's weird indeed. Maybe the package in your PPA and the package in natty were compiled with slightly different versions of gcc? Are the buildlogs available somewhere?

Sure, every build in launchpad has the logs avaliable in the corresponding "builds" section [0], and it sould have being with the last natty versions as the build process takes them at the beginning (see the logs). I have made those builds also in my own computer and with the same build tools it crashes without the patch and works with it.

The working patch is in the "shankao2" logs, I tested another proposed solution in the shankao1 version :)

Making shankao's changes to libapr and rebuilding apache2 using the new libapr1-dev fixes the segfault for me.

This bug was fixed in the package apache2 - 2.2.16-6ubuntu2
