time for 1.3.3

Not really.  We have at least one other major problem (error_notes)
and a number of other minor ones that have been fixed.  If we can
get the two Win32 patches tested and applied, a new release is called for.
It is a hell of a lot better to do it now than to generate a bunch
of 1.3.2 binaries first and fend off the security alerts on the
error notes stuff.

It works for me now.  I never accepted the new host key.  - ben hyde

Aha, thanks, it seems I left my mind on vacation since a few months..  I
somehow believed the process group setting is used to cause the detach,
and not backwards.  I've put up a modified patch at

  http://eon.ml.org/dist/diffs/apache-1.3.x-nodetach-2.diff.gz

and sent a similar note to apbugs to update the PR.  It now modifies
detach to take an additional argument to decide whether to fork() or
not, all the rest will be done like before.  It's still simple, and it
still doesn't effect how apache works when the -n option is not
specified.  (Formerly, I thought skipping reopening std files is a
feature, just like not setting the process group, but the playing with
process handling in the latter way is certainly not a wise idea..
gack..)

Also, sorry, I don't want to persist with this minor issue, so feel free
to ignore if something is still wrong :)

detach() does more than just fork and reopen the files; it's also where
the process group is set.  So I suspect your patch might need a
little more to it -- but I haven't investigated in detail.

Any chance some of you can look into PR2144?  It's an (IMHO very clean)
featurelet to allow apache to do normal operation without detaching
(almost like -X but not for debugging).  It's been suspended since at
the time of submission I did not have a patch, and it might be skipped
because of that state...

+1. I think the fixed bugs warrant a new release.
    I'd offer to be the RM.
