This is a known problem with certain versions of the AIX C compiler.
IBM are working on a solution, and the issue is being tracked by
<A HREF="http://bugs.apache.org/index/full/2312";>problem report #2312</A>.

+ Internet address?</STRONG></A>
+ <P>
+ The simple answer is: "It hasn't." This misconception is usually
+ caused by the site in question having migrated to the Apache Web
+ server software, but not having migrated the site's content yet. When
+ Apache is installed, the default page that gets installed tells the
+ Webmaster the installation was successful. The expectation is that
+ this default page will be replaced with the site's real content.
+ If it doesn't, complain to the Webmaster, not to the Apache project --
+ we just make the software and aren't responsible for what people
+ do (or don't do) with it.

+ <LI><A NAME="apspam"><STRONG>Why am I getting spam mail from the
+ Apache site?</STRONG></A>
+ <P>
+ The short answer is: "You aren't." Usually when someone thinks the
+ Apache site is originating spam, it's because they've traced the
+ spam to a Web site, and the Web site says it's using Apache. See the
+ <A HREF="#domination">previous FAQ entry</A> for more details on this
+ phenomenon.

+ No marketing spam originates from the Apache site. The only mail
+ that comes from the site goes only to addresses that have been
+ <EM>requested</EM> to receive the mail.
