It works nicely on platforms I use. But last week was the first report of anyone building it on windows. Or rather, trying and failing to build it. I'd guess that's precisely because it's now stable for us as devs, a slightly wider circle of testers are looking at it. That's a Good Thing. When it goes GA, we can expect a *much* wider range of users, and they'll be less tolerant of things not working. I don't even know if it's a bug or a user error. If it is a bug, it would obviously be best to fix it, but an acceptable second-best is to document it. As for suddenly waking up, please note the date on http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-httpd-dev&m=113266737311013&w=2 -- Nick Kew
