=A client has been running Apache under FreeBSD for a while, and now
=suddenly the following problems happen:

=1. httpd takes a LONG time (in excess of 10 minutes) to configure itself.
=2. every hit yields an error of this type in error_log:
=   [Fri Sep 20 15:03:08 1996] httpd: caught SIGSEGV, dumping core
=   and of this type in /var/log/messages:
=   Sep 20 15:08:46 otny /kernel: pid 299: httpd: uid 65534: exited on signal 6

May be, the server tries to resolve all the hostnames, and you client's
DNS changed recently? The files on the server itself may be correct, but
something might have changed on the DNS...

Also, make sure server's log-files did not grow too long... Apache
does not rotate it's log files by itself (does anybody?)

=Despite the 'dumping core,' no core files can be found on the system.

Are you looking for `core' or `httpd.core' files? On FreeBSD you need
the later.
