OK.

Good. That was a wild guess, but someone has to ask these questions.

Well .. I'm running out of clever ideas .. and stupid ones, for that
matter. The only two remaining things i can suggest are to increase
the verbosity of your logs, and to decrease the number of modules that
Apache loads and runs until something drops out.

It's all good for the karma .. some day you'll help me with an
impossible question and I'll be in your debt.

Let us know how it all works out for you.

ps Thought of a third avenue .. try setting up the same version of
Apache on another box and see if you can duplicate the same behaviour.
A,lso try it with a newer versino of Apache .. keep trying
combinatinos until something falls out.
