As long as it properly fixes the testcase added with this patch, I really don't mind a better fix. Normally you get in this state before starting the application that uses Apr; not from inside the application (see the original thread from November 2009). So getting in the error state is not an application error! But reproducing it that way would require a more extensive test. Bert
