Oh - so this is a bug/design flaw in mod_jk? Does the same affect the prefork/worker MPMs? One aspect is inheritance of handles (e.g. handle to SHM segment). I've always ment to make that more generic, and it would be nice to solve for Apache 2.2. It's used now to hand of the score and listener handles from the parent to child. The trivial solution is to use an anon segment which Win32 will not inherit, which means that SHM is unique to a single generation, and won't be polluted by changes in another worker. This does sound like a good use case, though, for handing off memory segments, mutexes and so forth to child processes. With a pointer or two, I'll be happy to look at it.
