Yes, it would. But for a debug log it's a price I'm willing to accept.
Just an unformed idea: allow these directives within <Directory> (and <Location>?), but not within .htaccess files. The log file could be opened as usual.
Hmm, yeah, but this won't help with the problem Cliff is facing, I guess: he is probably logged into apache.org and wants to debug a script he's developing right now, so (pre-)enabling it in the server config makes no sense. It'd be really nice to have the possibility to enable script/rewrite logging 'on the fly' without any changes to the config, besides a AllowOverride option (and with the downside of opening/closing the logfile per request).
Or do you possibly think about something similar to the following:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ ... <Location /cgi-bin/debug> ScriptLog ... ScriptLogBuffer ... </Location>
where you'd have a dedicated sub directory to test your scripts. Hmm, why not?
