Eric,

Initially that is where I submitted it.  However, as I was doing further 
investigation I am tending to 
think that it is more than a simple configuration issue.

Creating a RewriteLog should be fairly straight forward and any logging 
function should be very 
bullet proof and at a minimum a logging configuration error should generate a 
warning message 
on Apache startup, yet there are never any entries in the log file even with 
log level 9 and no 
Apache startup messages.

For testing, my configuration options and code came pretty much from the 
apache.org 
documentation, and I have recreated the problem on a vanilla SuSE 11.0 system 
with the default 
http configuration.

The other rewrite maptypes (txt, rnd, int) work, which would seem to indicate 
that all of the basic 
setup and configuration is correct. If it is a configuration issue unique to 
prg - say a typo in the 
path or a permission issue, mod_rewrite should generate some sort of error 
message.

So while there may be a configuration error at the root of the problem, I am 
suggesting that 
mod_rewrite may need additional sanity checking and a less fragile logging 
function.
