Unable to Terminate when ZoneAlarm Installed

Ahhh, no offense, Joshua, but that is just plain sillyness.  You are joking, 
right?  So if there is a conflict between Apache software and another vendor, 
just blame the other vendor and call it a day?  Here are the reasons why that 
statement makes no sense whatsoever:

1. Apache 1.3.xx works just fine with Zone Alarm even if Zone Alarm is, 
supposedly, "messing up the windows sockets interface".  If so, why does Apache 
work just fine and Apache2 doesn't? 

2. There are reasons why I have Zone Alarm installed in the first place so 
telling me to just "remove Zone Alarm" in order to run Apache2 is just plain 
Arrogant.  Basically you are saying that your software is more important than 
other software.  I'll just move back to Apache 1.3.24 to, temporarily, solve 
the issue; not uninstall a program that performs an important function on my 
networked machine.

3.  Lots of other software seems to run just fine with Zone Alarm including 
other types of servers (Apache 1.2.34, Serv-u FTP, Tomcat 3.3.1/4.1-dev, etc...)

4.  Zone Alarm could simply be exposing a subtle flaw in Apache2 which is 
something you seem unwilling to consider.  Maybe it is the other way around?  
Who knows?  Either way, the issue certainly deserves more investigation than 
you seem think is worthwhile.

Please let me know if my statements are totally invalid and, if so, provide 
your reasoning.  I think they are quite reasonable and it would certainly put 
Apache2 in a better light if it worked with pretty much *the* most popular 
personal firewall on Windows.

I love open source and I think Apache does a tremendous job developing open 
source software, but it irks me when open source developers just blow off valid 
issues like this.  There is an issue and there is a chance it might be a bug in 
Apache2.  If so, the solution is to fix Apache2.  If not, the solution is to 
alert Zone Alarm that (and, ideally, how) they are breaking a Apache2 so they 
can get things working properly on their end.  Either way, Apache2 users 
benefit and everyone is happy.
