This configuration was in mod_perl's 'make test' httpd.conf for ages,
it used to work fine (at one point), but I have no problem changing
this, of course.

It's possible that Marc has already fixed it.  I'll try again later
and log bug if it's still broken.

If I fixed it, then I am even better than I thought.

I hopefully have added a workaround to avoid it from getting a SEGV, and I
have noted it in the ever-growing-never-shrinking list of screwed up crap
on Win32.
