Hmmm... there is no chown() in Apache or mod_ssl which _reverses_ the owner
again, of course. And when the above is true, the server usually have to
complain with "Cannot open SSLSessionCache DBM file `%s' for writing (store)"
or "Cannot open SSLSessionCache DBM file `%s' for reading (fetch)" - which it
doesn't for you. Very confusing...
