           Summary: apache runs out of virtual memory with mod_rewrite
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.48
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P4
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: caterham@web.de


While using this code in a .htaccess file in a subfolder /test/ (per-directory
rewriting), the Virtual memory runs out. I barely was able to restart apache
server before a system crash. 

The request URL was http://www.example.com/test/index/ab/1/cd/3
and should be rewritten to http://www.example.com/test/index.php?ab=1&cd=3

/test/ is the physical-directory-path, so there is no use of mod_alias which
might require to specify a "RewriteBase /physical-directory-path"

this is (the only) used RewriteRule in /test/.htaccess, there are no other Rules
either in /.htaccess or the server-config
---
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/([^/]+)(.*)$ /index$3?$1=$2 [QSA,N]
RewriteRule ^index/?$ index.php [QSA,L]
---

This has happened at least on WinXP with Apache/2.0.48 and Apache/1.3.26.

This Prolem was solved, when the dir-prefix /test/ was specified in the
substitution:
---
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index/([^/]+)/([^/]+)(.*)$ /test/index$3?$1=$2 [QSA,N]
RewriteRule ^index/?$ /test/index.php [QSA,L]
