>Description:
Commercial grade memory checker, Insure, generated some problem reports.

At least 5 errors in very preliminary testing of 1.3b6 including:
overwriting memory buffers, accessing strutures through NULL/dangling pointers,
missing parameters passed to functions, and others.

I'd like to work with someone on the Apache Team to do a more complete test of all the modules, as my test only verified a few.

The error reports --giving the full stack trace and source file and line giving error-- can be given.

I can run the test on AIX4.2 as well...

Please contact.
