Needs patch:

Closed issues:

	people/places who need it

Open issues:

    * Conditional logging and aplogger

    * Roy's report of Dead Apache

	the child with the mutex lock to be killed and the lock

    * SunOS and stdio
	Stupid broken Sun headers...

    * NameVirtualHost
	Causes mucho confusion... Dean is ready to ``admit defeat''
	but should we let him? Lars suggests making NameVirtualHost
	a required directive

	Update: Ben has discovered the code that causes this. Will try
	to fix.

    * tarball issues:
       o Remove .Z files? Dean says yes, others don't really care
       o md5 or pgp or some combo of both?
       o Brian says yes... Jim says +1, Martin +1

    * The PR#918 patch above appears to have been bogus, should be fixed or
	reversed.  It has been reversed for now.

    * Martin's SEGV, and Alexei's GP Fault under windows (probably the same)

    * Marc's [BUG] include virtual and SCRIPT_NAME w/path_info

On all my *nix platforms: nope, your "off-by-one" patch fixed that.

On my mainframe port, I still cannot get to the first accept() since
_something_ in the allocation stuff keeps dumping core right after the
first reading of the config file. I haven't had much time lately to
further track this down ('cause the platform is not very easy to debug
:-( ).

So: Both +1 and -1. But please ignore the "-1" until I have at least
SOME clue to put my hands on.

I actually rescinded my +1 because I don't want to introduce yet another
date format.  I'd rather see it use the same format as some other log we
already have.

Both submitters of 1248 and 1328 report success with my patch.  You
need to be on a big endian machine to see the bug.

I think Martin's patch is committed and now we have to resolve the
206 versus 200 issue Marc brought up.

Paul S. and Dean both gave this a +1.  I reposted it recently un-mimed. 
One more +1 and I'll commit it since I've got a working tree massaged to
add/delete the appropriate files...

+1, same condition.

This is now part of the OS2 fixes patch.

Dean broke piped logging, -DNO_OTHER_CHILD to disable the reliable stuff
if you depend on piped logging.  I figure nobody must, since we haven't
seen a bug report and it'd show up easily under moderate load.

Are you guys still seeing this?
