Sometimes people report bugs and/or post patches on these lists and for 
whatever reason they are never properly addressed.  Discussion on the list is 
great, but it is all too easy for the e-mails move out of sight.  The mail 
arrives all too quickly.  The best action you can take to avoid the bit bucket 
for your bug reports and patches is to open a problem report at 
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/.  If a patch is associated with it, once you 
create the bug report go back to the report to attach the patch and add 
"PatchAvailable" to the keywords field.

(Maybe a more eloquent version of this message needs to be automagically posted 
every couple of weeks?

I've had the recent "opportunity" to re-debug a problem which is in every 
Apache since 1.3.2.  Once you know what to google for, you can find posts over 
the ages describing the problem.  Even a patch.  But never finally fixed and no 
entry in bugzilla for 1.3.x or 2.0.x.)
