------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2003-02-21 12:02 -------
Apache httpd fails to close access and error logs when it forks and 
execs cgi scripts.  From our preliminary understanding of the code
the fix is to call apr_file_inherit_unset() in place of 
apr_file_inherit_set() in both server/log.c and loggers/mod_log_config.c.

The bug first appeared going from 2.0.39 to 2.0.40 because a typo in the
definition of the APR_INHERIT flag had reversed the effect of
apr_file_inherit_set().  For this please see cvs diff of
/apr/include/arch/unix/Attic/inherit.h between 1.10 and 1.11.

The attached patch forces cleanup of logfiles on fork/exec of cgi's.

All calls of *_inherit_set() and *_inherit_unset() should be validated 
for correct behavior in their respective contexts.

Credit for digging through the sources and finding the fix goes

In case of questions we have more detailed information available.
