Aha.  Bugzilla doesn't work with mod_perl.  See 

<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87406>

and 

<http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/porting.html#Sometimes_it_Works__Sometimes_it_Doesn_t>

It's not clear to me why applying the P4DTI patch would break things,
except possibly you should reset mod_perl (somehow?) when Perl sources
change, but in any case, don't use mod_perl with Bugzilla.
