OK, I've got 1.3b1-dev up and running on OS/2 (though with minimal testing,
just viewed a few manual pages through it). To get that far I had to fix a
few things:

1) All the changes I listed for 1.2.4 a while ago.

2) Creation of os/emx directory and files.

3) For reasons I couldn't determine, fork() was bombing in detach() but as
detaching isn't actually wanted (as with Win32) I changed the #ifndef WIN32
in detach() to 
#if !defined(WIN32) && !defined(__EMX__)
and the problem went away :-)

4) The size of the shared memory allocated for the scoreboard (in
setup_shared_mem()) was too small. Needs to be "SCOREBOARD_SIZE" instead of 
"HARD_SERVER_LIMIT * sizeof(short_score)". 


I also noticed that setup_shared_mem() messes with shared heap stuff
(_ucreate(), _uopen() etc) which looks quite unnecessary to me. Garey, is
there a reason for it? As far as I can see the scoreboard just needs a block
of shared memory, not its own heap.


As a newbie to the Apache development process, how do I submit a patch
request?

If anyone wants to test it a bit, I'll keep it running for the next few hours
on http://kheldar.apana.org.au

diff -ru fresh-copy-of-source-tree modified-copy-of-source-tree

Would be great.  Just post it here.
