And indeed this (tested) patch against mod_perl 1.99_10 fixes it.

Thanks Rafael. In the future please post patches against the current cvs if possible, as I've already applied a similar fix, though yours is definitely better. The cvs version already includes a test for this bug.


On IRC Rafael said that he believes that his patch solves the problem
without needing changes to perl. Is this the consensus view?

Rafael's patch solves the problem in mod_perl 2.0. The problem still exists for any other application that embeds perl and does the fork on its own (not using pp_fork). So 5.8.2 (same as 5.8.1) may break applications that ran OK under 5.8.0. I've suggested a patch to pp_getppid that fixes this problem in perl.
