I absolutely agree with you that it is less than straightforward - it
certainly made me scratch my head for a while. In terms of mod_dbd,
malloc()/free() solution probably yields slightly lower memory use and
simpler code, but it's just another ugly hack.

Do you think apr_pool_destroy_safe() would help, as presented in the
last patch I sent to the list?
