RE: [mp2] mod_perl closes apache's stdin and/or stdout

I'm starting to use Gearman to get around this whole problem. We use a lot of external processes for many things, so this issue wtih Apache2 really bit me hard in the bee-hind. I've gone to great lengths to work around it, but so far the job queue approach seems to be the most elegant and
