[users@httpd] Strange problem with mod_vhost_alias

I'm having a strange problem with mod_vhost_alias here, which doesn't
match the documentation.

My intentions are to map these sample domains on one server to these
directories:
web.stalag99.net => /home/hosts/stalag99_net/w/e/b/web/public_html/
stalag99.net => /home/hosts/stalag99_net/w/e/b/web/public_html
       OR /home/hosts/stalag99_net/_/_/_/_/public_html (if I'm reading
the docs right)
anydomain.dotsig.org => /home/hosts/dotsig_org/a/n/y/anydomain/public_html
www.canmephwar.co.uk => /home/hosts/co_uk/c/a/n/canmephwar/public_html

In reality, I have like 8000 domains, mostly .comicgenesis.com but
with www.stalag99.net, www.kisai.org, www.kisai.ca,
www.digitalwar.co.uk, etc in the mix.

The particular line:
VirtualDocumentRoot /home/hosts/%-2_%-1/%-3.1/%-3.2/%-3.3/%-3/public_html

In testing, using to report the actual file accessed at the end of the
log line...
LogFormat "%V %h %l %u %t \"%r\" %s %b %f" vcommon                              
CustomLog logs/access_log vcommon                                               

I get this in my access log (one per request, of course, all pointing locally):
web.stalag99.net 127.0.0.1 - - [01/Aug/2005:22:46:52 -0400] "GET /
HTTP/1.1" 403 290 /home/hosts/stalag99_net
stalag99.net 127.0.0.1 - - [01/Aug/2005:22:47:06 -0400] "GET /
HTTP/1.1" 403 286 /home/hosts/stalag99_net

It looks like it's cutting off past %-3.1 and beyond.  Changing to:

VirtualDocumentRoot /home/hosts/%0/public_html

works as usual.  

I think I've found a bug.  Apache 2.0.54, on a Gentoo Linux box.

I'm not sure what FreeBSD uses.  I could use ReiserFS if the
production server was Linux.  However, I got over 8000 users on the
server -- thankfully all flat file so CGI isn't a problem.

/var/www/localhost/htdocs

That shouldn't matter, though.  If I change the VirtualDocumentRoot to
/home/hosts/%0/public_html, and create a
/home/hosts/stalag99.net/public_html, I get a directory index.

I haven't read the documentation for that, so can't help with diagnosing
whether it's a bug or your problem.

Do you really need that kind of hashing?  The technique dates back to
when filesystems used linear lookup within a directory.  Nowadays I'd
just use a hashed filesystem and not worry about big/flat directories.

Hmmm.  That's 403 (forbidden) rather than no-such-file.
What's your actual documentroot (as opposed to virtualdocumentroot)?
