It's a Debian 'testing' box, but apache2 is locally compiled because
I'm running Subversion too.
The only listen directive is a 'Listen 80', not nested inside anything.
( I've posted the complete httpd.conf at
http://dione.no-ip.org/~alexis/tmp-nopasswd/ticking-httpd.conf. The
changes made to the out-of-the-box httpd.conf are documented at

No, not running v6 - or at least:
dione$ telnet ::1
Trying ::1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Address family not supported by
protocol
so I presume that means I'm not (right? 'telnet 127.0.0.1' gives a normal
'connection' refused' 'cos telnetd not running).

Okay; the 'strace -p' will take some more time, because I have no way
of provoking this behaviour; I just have to wait for it to happen.
Is there any other info I can provide before it happens, or anything
else I should collect when it does? If there please let me know, and
if there isn't I'll keep quiet until I've collected said information
and then post/cc again.
Thanks for the assistance ...
Alexis
