Win9x(ME) 2.0.44 build was borked.

I've tossed a patch, apache_2.0.44-win9x-x86-apr-patch.zip, already confirmed 
good, in http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ to resolve this bug;

  http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16288

The patch contains one file, bin/libapr.dll.  Only one change to that binary, 
we revert to the apr/time/win32/time.c rev 1.40.  It was bad code, but there 
is no better solution right now for Windows 9x (the daylight savings time flag 
is always computed as of 'today', not the time we are converting.)

A patch is forthcoming and the startup bug will be resolved for 2.0.45.  This 
patch is recommended for Windows 95, 98 and ME.  It is not recommended
(due to the buggy nature of the daylight saving time flag) for any NT (2K or XP)
installations.

I'm burnt to a crisp.  Would someone within the docs team be willing to
pick this up and distribute the information on the httpd-dist README
pages, the comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows newsgroup and
the users lists?  I'd be very grateful.

Sorry for the burnout ... I need sleep to get back on track to prepare for
a maintenance 2.0.45 release.

Bill

I also recognized this recently, but could fix it with the help of Brian.
The archives should be fine now :-) We imported the last 8 months or so...

Oh wow, something weird happened. Some time ago I've looked at 
http://httpd.apache.org/mail/users-de/ and the recent 6 month or so were 
empty. Therefore I've never subscribed that list. strange.

I will post a german translation of Will's remarks to the users-de list in
the next two hours (if nobody beats me to it)...

HTH,
