[Bug 675965] [NEW] Apache crashes with glibc detected and stack trace

[Paul Vaughan]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apache2

Expected behaviour:  no problems, Apache to serve web pages for the
college's VLE.

Actual behaviour:  very slow serving pages for ~30 seconds,
/var/log/apache2/error.log shows:

*** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/apache2: double free or corruption
(fasttop): 0x00007f3f1dd0dd50 ***

...followed by a backtrace (file file attached).

I have reported this bug before but was unable to reproduce. It has now
returned but I am unable to locate the previously filed bug so cannot
recall what steps to take now.
