A response to our announce from the front. I don't recognize the problem, perhaps someone else will.
Kevin, you may want to follow up with a bug report to http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/ as we've closed down email bug reporting through bugs.apache.org. Your report is a little sparse on details, please add some specifics before filing a bug report.

Apache 2.0 has been running on the Apache.org >website since December of 2000 and has proven to be very reliable. > >This version of Apache is principally a security and bug fix >release. A summary of the bug fixes is given at the end of this >document. >Of particular note is that 2.0.39 addresses and fixes the issues noted >in CAN-2002-0392 (mitre.org) [CERT VU#944335] regarding a >vulnerability >in the handling of chunked transfer encoding. We would like to thank >Mark Litchfield of ngssoftware.com for discovering and reporting the >vulnerability. > >Apache 2.0 offers numerous enhancements, improvements and performance >boosts over the 1.3 codebase. The most visible and noteworthy addition >is the ability to run Apache in a hybrid thread/process mode on any >platform that supports both threads and processes. This has shown to >improve the scalability of the Apache HTTP Server significantly in >our testing. Apache 2.0 also includes support for filtered I/O. This >allows modules to modify the output of other modules before it is >sent to the client. We have also included support for IPv6 on any >platform that supports IPv6. > >This version of Apache is known to work on many versions of Unix, >BeOS, >OS/2, Windows, and Netware. Because of many of the advancements in >Apache 2.0, the initial release of Apache is expected to perform >equally >well on all supported platforms. > >There are new snapshots of the Apache httpd source available every 6 >hours from http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/ - please download and test >if you feel brave. We don't guarantee anything except that it will >take up disk space, but if you have the time and skills, please >give it a spin on your platforms. > >Apache has been the most popular web server on the Internet since >April of 1996. The March 2002 WWW server site survey by Netcraft (see >http://www.netcraft.com/survey/) found that more web servers were >using Apache than any other software; Apache runs on more than 54% >of the web servers on the Internet. > >For more information and to download the release tarballs, please >visit http://httpd.apache.org/ > > >Changes since 2.0.36 >--------------------------------------------- > >Changes with Apache 2.0.39 > > *) Fixed a build problem in htpasswd.c on Win32. > [Guenter Knauf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Cliff Woolley] > >Changes with Apache 2.0.38 > > *) Rewrite htpasswd to use APR.
