The attached patch stops mod_perl-1.x from calling av_undef() on a NULL AV*.

Applied, built and tested just fine on my side.

Only minor comment would be to consider writing a macro around this to
avoid duplicating the code.

#define MP_safe_av_undef(av)

Or something like that.

OK, how about the attached patch instead?



For bonus points, only enable the workaround for affected versions of perl
and fallback to the original av_undef() otherwise.

That's not so easy because it isn't easy to tell what versions of perl are affected. We could check for perls >= 5.9.5, but that would wrongly include most versions of bleadperl kicking around between the release of 5.9.4 and the application of change #26513 (not a big problem), and would also wrongly not include any future 5.8.x releases that change #26513 might get integrated into. It doesn't seem to me like being worth the trouble.

The change works fine with older perls, in which av_undef(NULL) is basically just a no-op anyway.
