This is also

 https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/201604.mbox/%3CCACsi250G0azcA-XyJHGLxacpDEg_ezJ=tAUs31PyB7G_8-X6+A@mail.gmail.com%3E

which says that while apache2 shouldn't crash, the mod_perl2 test is
buggy and should be fixed. Unfortunately mod_perl2 upstream is very
quiet these days, so nothing has happened so far on this front.

I intend to disable the test in libapache2-mod-perl2 for now until
a better solution is found.  Do you want to track the apache2 crash
with this bug, or should we reassign it back?
