Basic authentication causes segmentation fault Basic authentication causes segmentati

Am using apache_1.3.32 (see my config args below).

Digest authentication works fine. But basic auth using either
AuthUserFile or AuthDBMUserFile causes the following error:

[Thu Oct 28 19:22:26 2004] [notice] child pid 27943 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

Any ideas?

My realm config from httpd.conf:

<Directory "/Users/acme/www/temp/">
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/basic.txt
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName acme
AuthType Basic
Require user acme
</Directory>

Used htpasswd to create basic.txt.

Apache config:

setenv SSL_BASE '/usr/local/ssl'; \
setenv EAPI_MM '../mm-1.3.1'; \
./configure \
--with-layout=Apache \
--enable-module=most \
--enable-module=ssl \
--enable-shared=max \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--disable-shared=perl \
--without-execstrip

Tried it -- made no difference. This may be a bug in mod_auth_apple.so
as I'm using Mac OSXS 10.3.
