Segmentation fault on a request with invalid HTTP method and error_page enabled

[defanator]

Example configuration:

load_module /home/test/ngx_http_modsecurity_module-debug.so;

user nginx;
worker_processes 1;

worker_rlimit_core 1000M;
working_directory /tmp/;

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log debug;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;

events {
    worker_connections 65536;
}

http {
    root /usr/share/nginx/html;
    access_log off;

    server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name localhost;
    modsecurity on;
    modsecurity_rules_file /etc/nginx/modsec/main.conf;
    error_page 400 /error.html;
    error_page 403 /error403.html;
    }
}

Invalid request is being made with the nc:

root@vagrant:/etc/nginx# nc localhost 80
wrong
root@vagrant:/etc/nginx#
