I concur with this assessment.  I was using c-client 2001a for the longest
time, for no particular reason, and had to restart Apache regularly as it
would begin segfaulting.  Since ugprading a couple of weeks ago, I haven't
seen a single segfault (yet).

Solaris 8, SPARC and Intel
Apache 1.3.27
PHP 4.3.0
Bunch of other junk :)
