Apache errors - * glibc detected * Backtrace - perl

Question

I have been getting these errors in my apache logs on my server - it only happened once a day or every two days. Any idea what could be causing this? I dont even have an idea of where to start?

*** glibc detected *** /usr/sbin/httpd.worker: double free or corruption (!prev): 0xb10515f0 ***
======= Backtrace: =========
...

See the full output of the error and backtrace here: http://pastebin.com/emUCQVzg

Here is another instance of the same kind of error: http://pastebin.com/Gg4HC1CU

Pastebin? but I doubt that it'll be much use to us this is most likely either a bug for the Apache group to solve or a hardware fault. — user9517, Apr 02 '13 at 08:04

Your Apache or one of it's modules has crashed. This could be a hardware problem or it could be a bug in Apache or one of it's modules. Diagnosing it could be quite difficult.

Update your Apache and it's modules to the latest version for your OS/Distro.
Put it all on different hardware
File a bug report with the Apache group.
