Which version of apache, and what OS are you running?

Running Apache 2.0.16, FreeBSD 4.3 - never had a segfault - and a ton of
probes against it.

Hello,


Over 15 times my apache has segfaulted whenever I get scanned by this worm.

Any idea why apache is segfaulting? I have 250 megs of free ram without proccess limits and
it segfaults. Also I tried every string and have been unable to replicate it manually.
