Ouch, not nice.

Although I suspect it won't make a difference, can you make sure
you're running the latest version of mod_caml from CVS, which you can
find here:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/cvs/?group=modcaml
(section: Anonymous CVS Access / Software repository)

The function where it's segfaulting is very simple:

CAMLprim value
mod_caml_get_dir_config (value rv)
{
  CAMLparam1 (rv);
  CAMLlocal1 (config);
  request_rec *r = Request_rec_val (rv);
  config = *(value *) ap_get_module_config (r->per_dir_config, &caml_module);
  CAMLreturn (config);
}

However, unless I know exactly which line is causing the segfault,
it's rather hard for me to debug.  Needless to say, I run mod_caml all
the time, and have never seen such a problem.

You could try compiling the module with debugging symbols, or simply
add a few print statements to that function to see which variable is
NULL.  Anything printed out with fprintf (stderr, ...) will be sent to
the error log, so you could for example try:

  ...
  fprintf (stderr, "r = %p, r->per_dir_config = %p\n", r, r->per_dir_config);
  config = *(value *) ap_get_module_config (r->per_dir_config, &caml_module);
  fprintf (stderr, "ap_get_module_config done\n");
  ...
