Hello,
Thanks for your response.
I loaded the latest release form your server. (1.3b8-dev)
But after compiling ist ended up with the problem mentioned below.
The following fixes solved the problem on MPRAS.
please note, it is actually not advisable to check for MPRAS, sinde GuessOS
returns i486-ncr-sysv4 on all NCR systems running under SVR4.
Furthermore i suggest to change the Commentlength in the mod_autoindex.c from
23 to e.g. 73. this gives a more comprehensive output.
Below you find a diff output of the changed modules.

State-Changed-Why:
Hi. We received a bug report from John Withers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
with a patch for this very platform in the last few weeks.
1.3b7, when released, includes this patch; however the patch
originally was against 1.2.6, so it's possible that something
in the 1.3 vein is triggering this bug you're proposing this
fix to. I suggest you pull down the current CVS snapshot from
http://dev.apache.org/from-cvs/ and give it a try; let us know
if this bug still persists. Obviously, it's going to be better
to conditionalize the fix with an #ifdef MPRAS rather than
an #ifdef SVR4. Thanks.
Brian
