alpha yes, waiting for people such as your self to help find / work out 
bugs.  that and perl-5.8.0-tobe has fixed many problem with ithreads that

stable will likely depend on a stable 5.8.x

that shouldn't happen.  is it still happening with current cvs?
do you have a simple test case that would be easy for me to setup?

don't need that unless you want each vhost to have its own parent 
interpreter.  but it shouldn't cause any problems.

Apache::Status does not work with 2.0 at the moment.
