Works with Keepalive on or off. >Fix: Get a big disk for your log partition? :) Seriously, I'd rather lose logs than deny traffic, so it would be great if the log module could faile gracefully and allow the server to continue to serve requests >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
