The only change from 1.2.18-3 to 1.2.18-3etch1 was the change of the default for URI forwarding (from apache httpd to apache tomcat). This was made due to CVE-2007-1860. To get the old behavior use JkOptions +ForwardURICompat But beware. Thats a security risk. Please read the documentation at http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/apache.html#Forwarding for more infos. Closing this bug as its not a bug.
