I'll backport the correction to 2.0.63 and 2.2.8 and put this
whole issue to bed.

Indeed mod_perl is working in the mentioned cases,

Arrrgh! I can't believe I missed that! You're right Steffen.
FWIW - I'm in the habit of shutting Apache down by running a program
which sets the "ap{pid}_shutdown" event, and I didn't even think to try
clicking the [X] in the upper-right corner of the Apache window.
With the current code, closing the child window doesn't stop Apache, it
just removes the window. With the previous patch this wasn't a problem -
Apache shut down OK. I don't really know why, but I'll try to find out.
I am going to hazard a guess. As of pre_config hook, we no longer have
a single handle to the console window; the have all been entirely
detached (stdin/stdout/stderr). In effect, I think win32 is treating
this as being daemonized and will no longer pass console events to the
child.
This should not be true for -X mode, perhaps it is also?
The real answer may just be handling -k stop for a pid in a process,
but that gets just a little tricky with respect to console vs service.
