Agreed that's the fix, and there has been chatter about putting out 1.5.1 one of these days. I don't think this is enough to warrant dumping the release, but I was afraid something odd might happen by picking up 1.5.0 over 1.4.8. That said - I think 1.5.0 was still the right call for the time being. Anyone doing out of tree builds aught to be able to read the output of make >build.log 2>&1, and work that out. And most who build out of tree I expect also build apr, apr-util individually. The casual user who would be bit by this bug is undoubtedly grabbing the tarball and just building the entire stack in-tree, so I'm not worried to much.
