Potential Apache issues due to Zend Optimizer v3.0.0

Just had a problem on a clients server which took a while to track down.Symptoms: If you rebuild apache/php and find that httpd appears to hang without spawning any children and nothing in the error log, this could be the problem. Using an strace on httpd -X shows the binary hanging on apache module loads.I finally tracked this down to Zend Optimizer v3.0.0 which is available in the current EDGE/CURRENT releases of cPanel ( 10.8.2-EDGE_41) in /scripts/installzendopt. Trick is to edit the script and set:

my $ver = ‘2.6.2’;

Then rerun the script and restart httpd. Hopefully this will help anyone who finds themselves with the same issue.
