You get a 500 in your *access* log and a simultaneous entry in your
*error* log doesn't appear? At all?

That "push" config stuff looks like a 3rd party module. Try running
without that enabled and see if the errors persist. If they do, try it
without that module *compiled* in and see if they persist.

NB I'm not suggesting you have to not use this module; just that if
you can isolate the problem to "when it's enabled/compiled", then you
can poke that module's authors about the problem.

Cheers,
