apache2 launchd plist bug?

[Karl Timmermann]

Hi all,

I'm new to this list but was hoping someone could help me. I recently  
installed MacPorts 1.4 RC2 and compiled from source. Once installed,  
I did a port file update, etc before installing apache2 + php5 +  
mysql5. Everything went pretty smoothly (except for some app named  
conftest that crashed - see crash report below - I'm not sure it  
matters.) So then I followed instructions to copy over a default  
httpd.conf file, along with a default php.ini file and then created  
the launchd startup item by copying the plist and loading it in. When  
I restarted, apache2 starts as expected and I can access my  
webserver. So far so good.

The problem is that after a while - maybe about an hour of use, every  
application in OS X starts to die - I get the spinning rainbow of  
death. Force quitting works, but other apps keep dying, even apps I  
restart. Even the Finder dies. So I force a reboot and it works for  
about 2 minutes, and then does the same thing again. To fix this  
problem, I boot into single user mode and delete the  
'org.macports.apache2.plist' file and reboot. Everything then goes  
back to normal.

I then test to make sure it was that plist file by installing the  
port again, and same problem shows up again. Any ideas? I'm running  
on a MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 Duo).

Thanks for any help!
Karl
