Hello, I'm having a difficult time using Apache::Session::Postgres and DBI together.
I can use DBI and Apache::Session::Postgres at the same time if they open separate database connections.
But, Apache(mod_perl) segfaults if I pass the database handle to Apache::Session::Postgres.

Configuration and versions:
Apache 1.3.20
mod_perl 1.26
PostgreSQL 7.1
Apache::Session 1.54
Apache::Session::Postgres 1.01
DBI 1.201

This causes a segmentation fault:

my($dbh) = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=dbhere', 'userhere', 'passhere'
+, {
    AutoCommit => 1,
    RaiseError => 1,
}) || die("DBI->connect() failed: $DBI::errstr");

tie(%session, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', undef(), {
    Handle => $dbh,
    Commit => 1,
});

They work fine separately like this:

my($dbh) = DBI->connect('dbi:Pg:dbname=dbhere', 'userhere', 'passhere'
+, {
    AutoCommit => 1,
    RaiseError => 1,
}) || die("DBI->connect() failed: $DBI::errstr");

tie(%session, 'Apache::Session::Postgres', undef(), {
    DataSource => 'dbi:Pg:dbname=dbhere',
    UserName => 'userhere',
    Password => 'passhere',
    Commit => 1,
});

Here is the second error I get, which I assume happens because of the previous segfault problem:

DBD::Pg::st execute failed: pqReadData() --  read() failed: errno=88 a
+t /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Apache/Session/Store/DBI.pm line 65.
(in cleanup) DBD::Pg::st execute failed: pqReadData() --  read() faile
+d: errno=88 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Apache/Session/Store/DBI.pm l
+ine 65.

I know I'm enabling autocommit multiple times, but I've tried every combination of (Auto)Commit, so I don't think that's the problem.
My random guess is that there is some variable or handle sharing problem, something isn't being released, (un)locked, committed, disconnected or whatever :)
But I really have no idea, that's why I'm asking the learned monks of Perl.

I've google'd, checked the mod_perl guide, and a few other places.
If I missed something, an RTFM with a little info about what manual to read would be welcome.
If I left any necessary information out, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Staunch
