FWIW, I can't reproduce this. A clean install on current sid/amd64
works fine for me.

Unfortunately I don't have many ideas about debugging this. Perhaps
try stripping down other parts of Apache configuration and see if it
goes away?

Reading rt-server, it's falling back to Starlet when running from command
line, but I doubt that's the reason for the segfault. That part of the
code doesn't seem to be reached when invoked inside perl:

  # when used as a psgi file
  if (caller) {
      return $app;
  }

  [...]

  push @args, '--server', 'Starlet' unless $r->{server} || grep { m/--server/ } @args;

so just packaging Plack::Handler::Starlet probably wouldn't help.
