[Bug 56251] New: Increase maximum length of FcgidInitialEnv string

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56251

            Bug ID: 56251
           Summary: Increase maximum length of FcgidInitialEnv string
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.26
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_fcgid
          Assignee: bugs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: weeks@iastate.edu

FcgidInitialEnv only accepts strings of length 127, silently truncating longer
strings. This limit is frequently inadequate for the PERL5LIB environment
variable.

This issue has been noted elsewhere:

http://gmod.org/wiki/Recompiling_mod_fcgid_to_avoid_truncated_Perl_library_paths

The 512-byte limit proposed in the second link seems reasonable.
