I did find a couple of old Slash.pm's around, although I don't think they
were in any path that could have conflicted.  I renamed them just in case,
but the crash still happens.  Should I remove the directory containing my
old slash 1.0.9 install?  (I'd prefer not to if it's not necessary.)

I did an strace of Apache crashing with the slash startup enabled; I'm
venturing into unknown territory for myself here.  It's monstrously
long; the last thing that happens before the segfault is this:

read(4, "##\n## access.conf -- Apache HTTP"..., 4096) = 348
read(4, "", 4096)                       = 0
close(4)                                = 0
munmap(0x402b3000, 4096)                = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

I posted the whole transcript (about 300k), in case anyone has a second to
peek at it and is feeling charitble, at:

<http://silicongoblin.com/apache-strace.txt>

(or a 39k gzip version at <http://silicongoblin.com/apache-strace.gz>)

Finally, I followed the apache recipe at 
<http://www.delouw.ch/linux/apache.phtml> pretty closely, adding
PERL_MARK_WHERE=1 to the mod_perl configuration as per the Slash install
instructions.  I did this for Slash 1.0.9 as well and it worked fine.

I'm pretty stuck at this point; any suggestions would be very, very
welcome.  I want to start writing some tutorial documentation as well, or
at least seed some with answers to my own FAQs.  Any clues that help me
progress will go in, of course.

Cheers!
