Welllllll, yeah. But I think I convinced myself it's a bad idea for performance reasons anyway. I'm not up to speed on how the locking mechanisms for the scoreboard work, but it'd suck for one thread to have to wait around on a scoreboard lock just because of this, when by definition it's an unshared pointer to unshared data. (I guess that last bit alone might disqualify it.) Oh well, it wouldn't kill us to have a static array in each MPM that's the appropriate size and to just use that, indexed by the second half of AP_CHILD_THREAD_FROM_ID. As long as they get stored somewhere in Apache and not in apr-util I'm happy. --Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charlottesville, VA
