activestate perl build 822 and modperl

[Thomas <suppressed>]

I have done some more test to nail down the problem with Activestate perl 5.8.8 build 822 and modperl.

I have tested with the theoryx distribution of modperl and compiled everything from scratch (vc7).
Both have the same problems. 
When starting Apache with a reasonable amount of perl modules there is an exception error when the perlInterpStart parameter is set to more then 3
And even if it set to 3 the situation is not stable.

The error is:

      Unhandled exception at 0x77c16fa3 in httpd.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 	violation reading location 0x03c17000.

On Windows 2003 the error is different.

No error/problems on Vista
No problems with Activestate build 820
And of course no problems running under Linux

Breakpoint at:

         PTR_TBL_t *source = modperl_module_config_table_get(perl, FALSE);

The above is from a Windows XP SP2 machine with all windows patches applied.

Does this make sense ?
