I believe this happens because Suse compiles Apache with AP_DEBUG.

This can happen if ModSecurity was compiled against different libraries 
than your Apache is running with.  Please verify that apr, apr-util and 
the Apache headers (apxs) used for ModSecurity compilation (config.log) 
are in fact the same as Apache installed and is running with (httpd -V).
