FreeBSD murzik.oles.net 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #0: Thu Dec 28 17:06:26 EET 2006     root at murzik.oles.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MURZIK  i386

>Description:
"apachectl restart" causes apache httpd process to dump core:
Mar 15 00:32:27 murzik kernel: pid 95239 (httpd), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
The problem happens if php module is loaded and ServerName is not defined in httpd.conf.
It's believed that the problem happens on FreeBSD only and the cause of the problem is bug in threading functions, not the apache or php bug.
Apache is 2.0.59, php is 5.1.5 (but seems to be irrelevant)
The backtrace:

>How-To-Repeat:
Install ports www/apache20 and lang/php5, run apache server, run "apachectl restart"
>Fix:
Only workaround is known: define ServerName in httpd.conf
