Apache::SizeLimit has a long-standing bug on Linux where it never actually

You're saying that it always thinks it is in the main process even though
it's actually in a child? I haven't seen this behavior. Is it specific to
certain versions of Perl or Linux?
We saw this with Perl 5.8.4 on Ubuntu Hoary. I think it's specific to
Linux from reading the thread. My plan was to just use Linux::Pid on Linux
systems, because from my testing it's version of getppid does the right
thing.
