I am running into a problem with mod_lisp.  It works, but not very
reliably.  

Details:

mac os X server 10.1.4
apache 1.3.23
Clisp 2.27
mod_lisp 2.2

Installed mod_lisp with
# apxs -c -i -a mod_lisp.c

Then fixed my httpd.conf to say...
--
LoadModule lisp_module /usr/libexec/httpd/mod_lisp.so
AddModule mod_lisp.c

LispServer 127.0.0.1 3000 "fractal"

<Location /lisp>
SetHandler lisp-handler
</Location>
--

I have taken the modlisp-clisp.lisp example from fractal concepts, and
added some 'format's for debugging purposes in modlisp-server,
apache-listen, get-apache-command, and process-apache-command.  I
start up clisp, type in (load "modlisp-clisp") and then
(modlisp:modlisp-server) and then restart apache.  A few pages load.
A few more.  Then nothing...  If I wait long enough it spits out
"Internal Server Error".  Then, if I wait for a little while, it may
load again two or three times.  Whenever it is working, clisp is
spitting out the format output.  When a page is failing to load, the
clisp console does not seem to be acting on any request.

If I dont restart apache after starting modlisp-server, the page will
load perhaps once.

If I start up the modlisp-server and then telnet to port 3000, I can
interact with it perfectly, sending apache command lists, and
getting back responses.  

Hence, this must be something with mod_lisp I suspect or its
interaction with apache.  But what this problem is, exactly, I dont
know.  

I may try next on a clean system, this _is_ a testing machine, and I
dont always treat it very nicely, this could be the product of some
past test.  I have already searched groups.google.com, and the web,
including the lispweb mailing list for anything similar, but I could
have missed something.

Info I am looking for:  

has anyone else gotten mac os X and mod_lisp up and running without
this problem? DId you use the same steps?

has anyone had this problem on other platforms? with the obvious
followup of what did you do that solved it?

Thanks for any info or suggestions.

I had the same problem with clisp+FreeBSD+mod_lisp. I didn't have the
time to investigate but cmucl+FreeBSD+mod_lisp works perfectly with
the same version of Apache.
