The first really important one is a fix for the crashes I've been
seeing in boot_DBI. I can't find the exact message in the archive now,
but anyone who reported that a problem was fixed by setting
PERL_STARTUP_DONE_CHECK=1 in the environment probably wants this patch
instead. The problem was that a library (in this case libpg.so) called
putenv() after perl was initialized but before perl's my_setenv got
called. Thus environ[] never got copied to malloc()'d memory, and
trying to overwrite $ENV{TZ} caused a bogus free(). That's
environment-mod_perl.c.
I've never looked at the mod_perl source code, but does it call
perl_parse() with a NULL for the env arg? If not it should.
Yes, it does.
