[Expat-bugs] [Bug #113609] Expat causes segfaults in Apache

[noreply@sourceforge.net]

Bug #113609, was updated on 2000-Sep-05 03:43
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Expat XML Parser
Category: None
Status: Open
Resolution: None
Bug Group: None
Priority: 5
Summary: Expat causes segfaults in Apache

Details: When Expat is compiled into Apache, and you add mod_perl or php or Sablotron into Apache in some way or another, Apache can segfault at random times.

Clark Cooper is aware of the bug, but I wanted to make sure it was logged here on sourceforge.

Comment:
This is caused (I believe) by multiple instances of expat in each of these modules. The task that I'm working on right now is to produce a shared library version. (Then after that to put out a new release of XML::Parser which can use it.)

Comment:
Clark: I'm nominally in charge of the Expat that is incorporated directly into Apache (i.e. I put it there :-). I'm happy to make the changes on the Apache side to get this working. Just let me know what you'll need...

I bet it is because Expat is *not* thread-safe

pardon... I'm on drugs... I hadn't seen the nasty #defines for userData and
the like... ignore that last comment.
