PR#39332: fix for segfault problem with mod_cgid on Solaris
Patch by Masaoki Kobayashi
Modified:
httpd/httpd/trunk/CHANGES
httpd/httpd/trunk/modules/generators/mod_cgid.c
Just for my understanding. This patch works around a bug in Solaris
with write
and UNIX domain sockets, right?
Otherwise I wouldn't get why the new code using writev would be
better thatn the
old one using write.
It's a bug with a number of reports, though I haven't actually been able
to reproduce it myself on opensolaris.
Rationale for the patch is that I reviewed it and ruled out the risk
of a
regression(!) So if it fixes a severe bug that affects some users,
then on balance it's a Good Thing.
