[rt-users] removing users from a group crashes mysql & apache

[John Hixson]

Hi guys,
  We are running  debian linux here (3.1 sarge), mysql 4.1.11, apache 
1.3 with mod_perl, and RT 3.4.1. All of these are debian packages. 
Previously we were running RT 3.0.7 and ran the various upgrade scripts 
to be current with 3.4.1. Ever since the upgrade whenever you attempt to 
remove a user from a group, it will crash apache and mysql. Here is what 
repeatedly occurs in syslog and apache's error_log when this happens:

syslog output:

May  3 11:23:14 4is RT: ACE 400 couldn't load its principal object 
(/usr/share/request-tracker3.4/lib/RT/ACE_Overlay.pm:846)

This continues until mysql crashes. If anybody has any ideas on why this 
occurs I would appreciate hearing how to go about fixing it. We have 
been unable to deprovision several users since upgrading.

Thank you,
