SuSE 7.2 + apache/mod_python

[Jeff Davis]

I have dealt with my fair share of similar problems, but haven't seen this 
specific one. Many problems are associated with conflicting modules, 
especially suexec, although it doesn't look like that's your problem. Seems 
like a lower-level apache error with the apache API (disclaimer: I am not 
entirely sure about this).

I would try:
1) try disabling other associated modules and if you can get it to work 
with any config at all, try to isolate a conflict.
2) use a new version of mod_python. I believe 2.7.5 is out. This is more 
likely to help you but could take a little more time than (1). I would even 
try upgrading apache (I think it's 1.3.20).
3) use simpler ./configure options. It might be an obscure option set that 
slipped through the testing.

It looks like a tough problem, best of luck. I hope one of my suggestions 
points you in the right direction.
