[mp2+Win32] Frustration over Apache 2.0/ 2.2 restart failure

[Foo JH]

Hi all,

I am rather disappointed (and a little frustrated as well) on modperl's 
inability to survive an Apache restart on the Windows platform. The 
platform combo tested are Windows 2003 + Apache 2.2 (and Apache 2.0) + 
modperl2 + libapreq2

I have come to accept the fact that once in a while modperl on Win32 
will segfault, but the old Apache I tried (year 2005 iirc) seems to 
recover, though it threw a windows fault dialog that scared the wits out 
of my clients. But this time it's just unacceptable. The odd thing is, 
if you try to start apache after it failed, it will fail again. You have 
to wait about a minute (or more) before starting the server.

I don't mind any creative workarounds. Please share with me any 
suggestions or tips that can circumvent this. Thanks much.
