> Martin Devara discovered a segfault when accessing some request object members. For example:
> def handler(req):
>         req.content_type = "text/plain"
>         req.write("EE\n")
>         a = getattr(req,"allowed_methods");
>     return apache.OK
> Futher investigation revealed problems with several getter functions in requestobject.c and serverobject.c. The root of the problem seems to be pointer dereferencing errors in the getter code. The affected functions and the members which use them are:
> src/requestobject.c
>     getreq_rec_ml
>         allowed_methods
>     getreq_rec_ah
>         content_languages
>         allowed_xmethods
> src/serverobject.c
>     getsrv_recmbr_ah
>         names
>         wild_names
> Martin has provided a patch to fix the bug.
> (Thanks to Martin for tracking this down and providing the fix.)
