Here is a summary:

- Compile Apache with CFLAGS="-g -O"
- Compile PHP with --enable-debug and compile it as a static
  Apache module (others may work - this will always work)
- cd into Apache apache-1.3.x/src directory
- run "gdb httpd"
- enter "r -X"
- now access the web server - it should receive a SIGSEGV shortly
- enter "bt" and enter the output into the bugs database at
