does Apache::Storage use directive handlers?  there is a known bug related
to that, tho i personally haven't been able to reproduce it yet.  and the
problem only shows up when other LoadModule's are configure.

i don't think pnotes or notes should persist across subrequests.  you need
to force that with something like:

my $notes = ($r->main || $r)->notes;

$notes->set(foo => 'bar');
...
$notes->get('foo');
