Did you use ldd to see what libraries httpd needs?  Do you have them
all in your chroot?

It might be that you don't have some files (non-libraries) in chroot
absence of which crashes httpd.  You could try to trace httpd to see
what it's trying to access.

I have IMP running in a chroot environment with no problems at all.
