After that point, apache would segfault at starup, or indeed even at apache2ctl -t (after outputting "Syntax OK").

I've managed to produce a puppet manifest which will build a broken server. I run it on a VM created with xen-tools. Unfortunately, it's not too simple, nor is it entirely self-contained. It seems to require a working database connection to fail.

Initially I had disabled Plack preloading to avoid the segfault. That worked, but RT was sometimes slow and ate a lot of RAM. I eventually rebuilt the server to run RT via FastCGI. Much better.

Anyhow, puppet manifest is attached. If there's any more information I can provide, feel free to ask.
