No, it just takes someone motivated. I hated the thought of 2.0.51 sitting around so I did something about it :) >There have been a number of users reporting this segfault not only on >the httpd email lists but on our own Novell news groups as well.

At the same time, there is ***massive*** progress on mod_cache! If the mod_cache folks think we are ready to roll (and they are getting close) then another release for all these 'experimental' improvements can't be very far off. Anyone can RM, it takes 3 +1's and no -1's to release, actually I think beyond 3 +1's it's simple majority rules. Bill
