If "Userdir" is left blank, apache can hang

           Summary: If "Userdir" is left blank, apache can hang
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.35
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_userdir
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: oliver@watershed.co.uk


Really little bug this, but if you load mod_userdir, and then change the 
"Userdir" directive (in httpd.conf) from its default of "public_html" to simply 
be blank*, apache *will* start, but as soon as you load something from 
http://www.domain.com/~userdir, apache will hang horribly.

* in order to simply let pages be served straight from ~userdir.

I compiled from the FreeBSD port, with mod_suexec.

OK, so just putting "Userdir" without a folder to map to in httpd.conf is a 
silly thing to do, but perhaps it's worth not letting apache start if that's the 
case.
