BTW my replacement patches are designed so that Apache will coredump without
properly unregistered hooks even on "smart" platforms so there are ALL hooks
(in mod_log_config, mod_proxy and mod_ssl itself) are correctly unregistered
on module unload event. So mod_ssl with my patches should be safe even on
non-such-smart platforms...
