segfaults on apache startup are usually due to loading DSO modules either
linked against a different set of shlibs or to a DSO that assumes threading
when the base apache doesn't (or vice versa).

You should try a binary search amongst the modules you load into apache to
see if you can isolate the one that is triggering the problem.  (You can pretty
much assume that any DSOs installed from the same package as the base apache
will be OK)

Another thing to try is to make sure that all the apache related stuff is either
installed from packages downloaded from the FTP servers or locally compiled from
ports.  That includes any PHP modules. While a mixture of the two *should* work,
it is possible to end up for example with different modules linked against different
versions of OpenSSL libs quite easily.

	Cheers,
