Apache state:

"In Apache 1.3 the issue causes a stack overflow.  Due to the nature of the
overflow on 32-bit Unix platforms this will cause a segmentation violation
and the child will terminate."

A colleague of mine, feels that it will be able to cause the process of
apache to segv which will be effective as a DoS

So I guess it is relevant.
