http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/apr-dev/200307.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and the rest of that thread probably help, I think those comments apply to the code as it was before it was removed. I was finally motivated to throw out the old code and replace it with use of POSIX recursive mutexes since doing so fixed segfaults in httpd worker MPM regression tests on x86_64 with pool-debug enabled (the pool-debug code is the only place inside apr/httpd where the NESTED flag is used). I don't know if those segfaults were directly attributable to any of the issues I highlighted in the old code, however, just to keep you on your toes ;) joe
