Good to hear from you, Ralf.  If you look at some of the posts I made, I
explain why I think it's the right thing to do.  But being new to Apache
module hacking, I'm not completely sure, either.

I tested the patch by restarting the server a couple hundred times with both
graceful/restart, and the building mod_ssl static doesn't appear to leak
memory.

The DSO version seems to leak a bit of memory, but the patch doesn't change
anything for that case.
