[STATUS] Mon Oct 20 21:41:35 EDT 1997

Lots of stuff going on... I think that occasional postings
of this makes sense, even without a tarball/release in the
wings.

	either update all of them or remove it from them.
	Status: We will keep them but update them. Any takers?

    * tarball issues:
       o Remove .Z files? Dean says yes, others don't really care
       o md5 or pgp or some combo of both?

    * Lars Eilebrecht suggests removing HAVE_SYSLOG for Ultrix 4.4
	1.3b3-dev won't compile with it 'cause syslog on Ultrix is weird.

	it's not possible to compile for OS/2 with the current
	source tree

    * The PR#918 patch above appears to have been bogus, should be fixed or
	reversed.  It has been reversed for now.

    * Martin's SEGV, and Alexei's GP Fault under windows (probably the same)

    * make install issues

    * FLOCK mutex problems under FreeBSD and others

    * Win32:
	mod_info
	Test mod_rewrite
	SERVER_BUILT
	crypt() replacement (but see crypt32.dll)

	- Ben has a more-or-less working install:
	    - doesn't install as a service on NT
	    - win95 doesn't seem to serve up index.html, NT dos

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info
	<Pi...@alive.znep.com>

He posted a patch at some point.  I believe the big problem is that we
can't use the same tarball for unix and OS/2... although he and I came to
the conclusion that we'd be able to ship an OS/2 specific patch along with
the unix tarball.  But this is still a bit of a headache ... Brian maybe
you can post another update if it's not too much trouble.

I was getting SEGVs on arctic.org (only 10k hits/day) until I put in the
off-by-one fix that made it into 1.3b1.  I haven't seen a thing since
then.  So I still really have no idea what's up.  Unfortunately I never
got any cores before that because of the linux core security feature... 
and I wrote the listenwrap stuff at the same time I put in the off-by-one
fix...
