Brad, the Unix code is wrong, but it clobbered Win32 (which could not create a NULL sharemem at that moment.) Now Win32 supports unnamed scoreboards, so that code _could_ go away; however... Aaron is working on reverting to use-named-scoreboard if a name is given in the conf file, or anon (unnamed) shm otherwise. When that patch goes into the Unix MPM's - this code may all be reverted to the Win32 path here. Yes - platforms do NOT belong in the httpd sources. For a temporary and quick fix, however, this is prefereable to having entirely broken platforms :) Bill
