I haven't tried this, but I guess if you wanted to track it down try
running Apache under gdb with Apache's -X option.  That would give more
detail about where in swish it's catching the segfault.  That's something
I can look at in a few days, if you can send me a small index file and
your config setup.

I'd also be very interested to hear your experiences with mod_perl
and swish.  I found that embedding swish into Apache ended up using 
a lot more RAM, but when I tested using Apache Benchmark (ab) I didn't
see that many more requests per second vs running swish as an external
program (forking Apache and running swish).
