New httpd patch bad?

Hello all,

Last week I downloaded the new httpd patch and up until this morning, it 
worked fine. I have 3 webervers all running the same setup. But this 
morning, at 4:03 AM local time, it stopped. A check of the httpd logs 
shows:

[Sun May 16 04:03:33 2004] [notice] seg fault or similar nasty error 
detected in the parent process

OK, that's obviously not good. Well, what happened? Anything in any other 
logs that would indicate a problem? Well, syslog restarted at that time. 
Then, I get this automagically generated nastygram into my emailbox:

Subject: Cron <root at machine> run-parts /etc/cron.daily

/etc/cron.daily/00webalizer:

Error: Skipping oversized log record

Error: Skipping oversized log record
Error: Skipping oversized log record
Error: Skipping oversized log record
Error: Skipping oversized log record

OK, what does THAT mean, and what do I do to fix it? This has never 
happened before...until, that is, I put on this patch. Further, I haven't 
been able to track down the bugzilla ticket for this. Is there an 
efficient way to search for that?

Thanks for any help!
