The method to exit from apache when mm cannot open the semaphore file
(e.g., because of permission problems) seems rather drastic to me:
main/alloc.c:628:
if ((mm = ap_mm_create(mm_size, mm_path)) == NULL) {
fprintf(stderr, "Ouch! ap_mm_create(%d, \"%s\") failed\n", mm_size,
mm_path);
err1 = ap_mm_error();
if (err1 == NULL)
err1 = "-unknown-";
err2 = strerror(errno);
if (err2 == NULL)
err2 = "-unknown-";
fprintf(stderr, "Error: MM: %s: OS: %s\n", err1, err2);
-------> abort();
exit(1);
}
I would prefer if the program would simply exit with an unsuccessful
exit code after printing the error message.

PS: are there more abort()s hidden in there? In alloc.c, there are many
of the assert() class ("this must *NEVER* happen" type of errors), most
of them wrapped in #ifdef POOL_DEBUG. But ordinary permission problems
should definitely NOT trigger an abort().
