Apache HTTP server crashs with XP SP3 and time zone set to GMT+n

[Don]

I have installed later today the Apache HTTP Server (versions 2.0.46 /
2.2.8) and found that it crashes on XP SP3 in libhttpd.dll. The fault
addresses resulted in 2.0.46 and 2.2.8 found they pointed to the same
function [ap_recent_ctime()]. but sure at different offset / entry point
address. I had got also exceptions during the server shutdown in
libapr-1.dll (Apache Portability Runtime library) function
apr_time_exp_gmt() which converts a time to its human readable components in
GMT time zone.

My first suspicion the local windows time zone because I have it set to
GMT+2. After resetting the time zone to GMT+0 the HTTP server to launched
successfully without any exception. This workaround is ok but not good as
solution.

Any idea how to fix the problem keeping the configured time zone?

Thanks
Don.

Dear Don

I'd the same problem. This is a part of bigger problem with the GMT +2 with
daylight feature. The NTBACKUP in 2008 server and OWA accsses had the some
issues with that too. Try using another GMT +2 ( I've used Minsk instead of
Jerusalem) In order to work arround the problem.
