perlbal crashes

Hello,

I'm running Perlbal in reverse proxy mode and it is crashing quite  
frequently. I get the crash message:

crash log: Can't call method "request_method" on an undefined value  
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Perlbal/HTTPHeaders.pm line 367.

My Perlbal config is:

--
CREATE POOL apache
   POOL apache ADD 10.10.10.23:81

CREATE SERVICE proxy
   SET proxy.listen = 10.10.10.23:80
   SET proxy.role = reverse_proxy
   SET proxy.pool = apache
   SET proxy.persist_client = on
   SET proxy.persist_backend = on
   SET proxy.verify_backend = on
ENABLE proxy
--

This Perlbal is feeding Apache behind it. I looked into the code and  
it has something to do with Keepalive. The crash happens after a few  
hours when keepalive is disabled in apache, and almost immediately  
when keepalive is enabled in Apache.

Any ideas on what is wrong? thanks

Kevin
