There are some few messages concerning the problem a while ago either on this list or the dev@httpd list. http://msgs.securepoint.com/cgi-bin/get/apache0204/1/3.html etc. Can't really remember if they have fixed it in CVS already. -- Thomas Eibner <http://thomas.eibner.dk/> DnsZone <http://dnszone.org/> mod_pointer <http://stderr.net/mod_pointer> <http://photos.eibner.dk/>
