Maybe you could try this patch. It looks like there's a small race
condition with keepalive timeouts... but I don't understand why we don't
see it more frequently.
BTW, please set LogLevel debug in your httpd.conf and tell me if you get
any of those possible nested timer warnings.

How-To-Repeat: Compile Apache with DSO support on a NetBSD/pmax machine, then try to run it. On a typical installation, you'll get an error message that the server can't find symbol _env_module in file libexec/mod_env.so. Fix: Add a check for underscores to the configure script. AFAIK, this is likely to change in the future for all NetBSD platforms, so keeping up with #define statements is likely to be impractical. I can get Apache to work correctly with DSO support by hand-editing out the #define DLSYM_NEEDS_UNDERSCORE line.

Update: bug is caused by a newline in the hdr_entry.value for the
Content-Length header field (i.e. the value contains the numerical
value with a surplus trailing newline). Around line 937 in
src/modules/proxy/proxy_ftp.c, this code propagates the trailing
newline to the size variable (from ftp_getrc_msg), which is later
copied to the header value field:
else if (i == 213) { /* Size command ok */

Quick dirty fix:
Add:

Then use these conrete informations in LIBS. Ralf S. Engelschall [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.engelschall.com I've tried your suggestion, and it does not seem to work. I think I've found the problem. It looks like a bug in the helper scripts. The value of CFLAGS that's required by the HPUX ANSI C compiler, and set-up for use in the higher levels of the Makefile, isn't being used to compile the test programs. They are ANSI C, and the cc options aren't asking for that. The HP ANSI complier only does ANSI if the option -Aa or -Ae is specified (the latter also implies -D_HPUX_SOURCE). Now the last full make I did, had specified -DHPUX10 -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE in the compiles of the apache modules without me doing anything special, so clearly part of the configure scripts know about this. But when I added a lot of vebose outout echoing to helpers/TestCompile, this is what I saw for the outout of the test makes: in TestCompile func dlopen: - - - cd ..; cc +O2 `./apaci` helpers/testfunc.c -o helpers/testfunc -L/usr/lib -lndbm cc: helpers/testfunc.c, line 1: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature. *** Error exit code 1 - - - in TestCompile lib dl: - - - cd ..; cc +O2 `./apaci` helpers/dummy.c -o helpers/dummy -ldl -L/usr/lib -lndbm cc: helpers/dummy.c, line 3: warning 5: const will become a keyword. cc: helpers/dummy.c, line 3: error 1000: Unexpected symbol: char. cc: helpers/dummy.c, line 4: warning 5: const will become a keyword. cc: error 2017: Cannot recover from earlier errors, terminating. *** Error exit code 1 - - - in TestCompile -v func dbm_open: - - - cd ..; cc `./apaci` helpers/testfunc.c -o helpers/testfunc -L/usr/lib -lndbm cc: helpers/testfunc.c, line 1: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature. *** Error exit code 1 - - - in TestCompile -v func dbm_open: - - - cd ..; cc `./apaci` helpers/testfunc.c -o helpers/testfunc -L/usr/lib -lndbm cc: helpers/testfunc.c, line 1: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature. *** Error exit code 1 - - - In TestCompile sanity the right flags _are_ picked up, and everything looks fine: - - - cd ..; cc -DHPUX10 -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DSTATUS -DNO_DBM_REWRITEMAP -DUSE_HSREGEX `./apaci` helpers/dummy.c -o helpers/dummy -L/usr/lib -lndbm - - - I _think_ I've transcribed all the above correctly.

Il both modules I added a log call via ap_log_error(...) and my own log via fopen(...) fprintf(...) fclose(...). Under Linux everything works right, when I look at error log I see the calls to mod_init(), mod_cleanup() two times, one of the first startup procedure (call it Defensive Programming -said Brian- ) and one for the actual -running- startup. Under Win32 the log says: mod_init() called mod_init() called mod_init() called three times (yes) with no cleanup... under my own log I see: mod_init() called mod_cleanup() called mod_init() called mod_init() called so three inits and 1 cleanup (after first startup) and NOT a final cleanup when server shutdowns.

I solved the problem adding these two lines: http_main.c Line 5036) ap_destroy_pool(pconf); (the last row of worker_main() procedure); This does not seem to hurt since under Win32 the pool is created at the beginning of the process (when it is spawned) via malloc() in function malloc_block() in file alloc.c. http_main.c Line 5484) clean_parent_exit(0); (the last row of apache_main() / REALMAIN() procedure); This seems to work since when apache_main() returns, it just return back to the Operating System.

Erm... that makes no sense.
If it returns 0 on success, and it is succeeding, then the error will not
be logged because 0 != -1. So obviously it can't be returning 0 on
success. Are you sure you didn't change anything else when you
recompiled?
