Understandable - unfortunately only Brad weighed in, and he forgot to indicate exactly which of the several rewrite patches he tested. I'll review tonight and see which I have time to +1 myself. I would ask for extra eyeballs before we incorporate any patches at this late date. Bugs hanging around is bad - but introducing new regressions is worse. By the way, anyone can suggest that an issue is a SHOWSTOPPER to the next release, although it better be a showstopper. I would suggest you snip those explicit backports that you believe would resolve this bug to the list, the section in 2.0-dev's STATUS can be hard to follow. Oh - testing before/after with httpd-test/perl-framework really helps justify the patch - especially if you can create a scenario if none exists already. Bill
