I believe that error is the same error that arises in
many of the apr-ext tests in mod_perl (with Apache/2.2);
with httpd-2.2.2, it arises on about line 798 of apr_pools.c 
of srclib/apr/memory/unix/, in the apr_pool_create_ex()
function - the line
     if (allocator == NULL)
         allocator = parent->allocator;
has "parent" apparently NULL. If anyone has tested mod_perl
and/or libapreq under Apache/2.2 with unix, can you let
us know if you encounter problems either with mod_perl's 
apr-ext tests or withj libapreq's glue/perl/t/apreq/cgi.t
tests? Thanks.
