In the file log.c, ap_open_logs() makes the following call:
/* note that stderr may still need to be replaced with something
* because it points to the old error log, or back to the tty
* of the submitter.
*/
if (replace_stderr && freopen("/dev/null", "w", stderr) == NULL) {
ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_CRIT, errno, s_main,
"unable to replace stderr with /dev/null");
}
The call to freopen ("/dev/null"...) appears to be a non-portable
function call. Shouldn't freopen() have been APR'ized into something
like apr_file_reopen() with the first parameter being defined as
#define APR_BIT_BUCKET_FILE "/my/platform/entry/here"? Right now this
doesn't work on NetWare and I can't fix it without putting an #ifdef
NETWARE into HTTPD which is bad.
