>There is a problem with the pcre library in conjunction with the Apache Web server on SuSE and Gentoo platforms. This issue has >been known for a while in the Apache / PHP community and is documented - among other places - here:

>It does not affect FC, RHEL, and CentOS because the Apache RPM for these distributions is patched to not use the internal pcre >library that comes with Apache but instead use the external one installed using a separate RPM.

>What happens: When sipXpbx is started Apache core dumps when loading the module mod_sipxauth. The last call in strace is to >pcre.

>On SuSE Apache 2.0.54 includes pcre-3.9 and I suspect the core dump occurs because pcre-3.9 is incompatible with pcre-4.5 or >pcre-5.0 used by sipxpbx.

>Apache 2.2 potentially fixes this issue (FC5 and SuSE 10.1) as there now is an option to either use the internal or external >pcre library. In addition they seem to have upgraded to pcre-5.0. It is unclear though at this point whether the Apache 2.2 RPM >distributed with these distributions will be standard built to either use the internal or external version of pcre.
