Fault Segmentation alert

[haroon58]

Hi all,

In our environment, the authentication is done by Siteminder. Every often, about every other week, we get Fault Segmentation Alert on Apache error log. Apache throws the following alert:

[Wed Apr 25 13:07:02 2007] [notice] child pid 2881 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:07:08 2007] [notice] child pid 2895 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:07:33 2007] [notice] child pid 2898 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:07:48 2007] [notice] child pid 2902 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:08:17 2007] [notice] child pid 2887 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:08:35 2007] [notice] child pid 2894 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:09:18 2007] [notice] child pid 2896 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:09:19 2007] [notice] child pid 2897 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:09:19 2007] [notice] child pid 2900 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Wed Apr 25 13:09:19 2007] [notice] child pid 2921 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

And this goes on and on and on, until Apache dies. Then, we have to re-start Apache/Tomcat, on the App server host.

If anybody have faced similar situation or know where I should look for root cause, please advise.

Thanks and regards.
