Could you try getting the call trace from the core file ? Assuming
the core file is in the current directory, you should do this:
$ gdb /usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/bb-eventlog.cgi core
[messages from gdb]
gdb> bt
The output from the "bt" command would be very helpful in narrowing
down the problem.
Below is the output from gdb, I apoligize for the formatting, I'm using a rather awkward web client. Interestingly, I found that it runs fine as user 'hobbit', but users root and apache get a segfault.
Core was generated by `/usr/local/hobbit/server/bin/bb-eventlog.cgi'.
