Prior to doing the make install, I captured doc on another really annoying phenomenon. Our httpd-std.conf contains "Group #-1". This does not work on my Linux box. If I try to use it with the current HEAD, we loop creating child processes which quickly exit with a fatal error. The parent doesn't realize it, and just keeps forking doomed children forever. After applying Jeff's patch, the parent sees the fatal error and quickly bails out. Then I restarted the server with a good config and forced a seg fault in mod_info's handler. I see a log message, and the scoreboard gets cleaned up properly. I'm going to put this on daedalus and verify that it works there. If so, I plan to put this into production this evening when the load dies down. I'd like to see a more complete version of this patch or something equivalent committed soon. Greg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ results when using "Group #-1" on Linux, with httpd build from the curent HEAD Children are generating fatal errors which are not recognized by the parent.
