Which is exactly what I would expect. So what is the test stuff missing?

Turns out that it was due to insufficient entropy in /dev/random, which makes digest secret creation really slow. So that would still be running when the test timed out, but it would finish before I looked at the error log. The solution seems to be to get apr to use /dev/urandom instead of /dev/random.

At any rate, this is not a mod_perl issue, so you can ignore all of this stuff -- except that bit in which I said that all the tests passed. :-)

In cases where the default timeout for starting the server
is reached, the environment variable APACHE_TEST_STARTUP_TIMEOUT could be used to set the
timeout to a higher value.
