"Compiled in" is poor choice of wording in the documentation. The module has 
worked fine as a DSO for all versions of apache I've used. Also what would is 
the point in distributing a module built as a DSO (or even allowing it to be 
buit as a DSO) when it only works if compiled in statically?

The child dies, but no content is returned on that child request. If you have 
the module turned on for all pages (as I have) then your http server 
effectively becomes useless. 

For users whose setup depends on this module (as mine does) then the severity 
of the bug is effectively grave. I realise that there are a lot of users who 
don't use the module and are therefore not affected by the bug, the 
documentation for the BTS suggests to me that important is the correct severity 
for this type of bug.

Yes, the workaround suggested works fine for me. I see this bug is now noted on 
the apache web server front page.

For reference on the BTS you have to specifically add:

CookieName Apache

to your httpd.conf - under normal circumstances, this configuration directive 
is optional with that being the default value.
