Notice of Intent: T&R 1.3.34
I will be T&R'ing 1.3.34 On Tues or Weds

And frankly it's about damn time. There are a variety of corporate
product deployments still using various bastardized versions of the
apache 1.3 tree. It's disgusting the number of security holes that
these often latent-version derivatives induce without any kind of
secondary access controls implemented by default.
Further, hopefully the true EOL will force some of our development
colleagues *cough* to focus more attention onto optimizing module
integrations for efficient usage of the 2.0 and beyond infrastructure.
While I am at it... is much being looked at for optimization under GCC
4.1 in future releases? Thinking specifically in terms of optimizing
algorithmic methods / looping for vectorized execution given the
industry's move towards multi-path programming and execution models. At
present we have moved from SMP to environments where we are looking at
dual-core and even now (with some of the server platforms being
developed using the cell processor) "true" vectorized execution.

Help is always welcome, but as we approach 2.2 (meaning 2.0-final), we
draw closer and closer to EOL for Apache 1.3 support. Sure, it will
probably be still supported for security holes (considering all the very
interesting oddball architectures that aren't supported by our libtool
friends) - but will it be any more frequent than 1x to 2x a year?
Not likely :)

Need to test on non-64s. Unless I feel comfortable that it
won't break and 32s, I won't be adding it into 1.3.34

Certainly keeping us on our toes about patches that make
sense is goodness. But 24-48 before a tag and roll actually
is more likely NOT to make it in, simply because it means
disturbing the contents of a codebase which has been
stable right before releasing.

I have applied the patch to trunk.
I would encourage all to update their copies and
cd into src/regex and 'make r' to run regression tests
on the patched tree.
I have confirmed no regressions on the systems I have
access to (Sol8, OS X/Darwin) and will be looking at
Suse 9.2 soonish.

Just another reminder to PLEASE test the regex changes
so I can T&R 1.3.34. Unless I hear otherwise, I will
tag 1.3.34 later on tonight.

May I humbly request inclusion of a patch I wrote almost a year ago?

It is not a feature request; it fixes a crashing bug on AMD64.
This has been discussed, has been validated, and is included in
Gentoo (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70177) and probably
other distributions.
BTW, if the ASF is looking for help better maintaining the 1.3 tree,
I am sure that there are a few people on this list, myself included,
who would volunteer.
Cheers,
