RT 3.8.8 segfaults apache 2 on OpenSUSE 11.x

This is too weird.

At first I thought it was a bad upgrade from 3.6.3 but I installed again
on a blank system and Apache didn’t seem to start so I tried
httpd2-prefork -X to see what Apache was doing. nothing is dropped in
the error log and Apache just terminates with a segfault. Anyone have
any suggestions?

You mean that incorporating RT configuration into Apache causes Apache to
segfault?? Does Apache start normally without RT configurations added?
Catch the segfault and see what is causing it?

gdb which httpd httpd.core
bt full

Another way to go, rather than gdb, is strace.

strace httpd -X

will show you all the system calls httpd is making and may reveal
where it segfaults.
