Re: mod_perl 1.99_11 test failures on 64 bit HP-UX systems

We are observing the attached test failures on 64 bit HP-UX systems.  They
happen on both PA-RISC and IPF systems.  I compiled Apache 2.0.48, Perl
5.8.2 and mod_perl 1.99_11 both with the HP ANSI C compiler and with GCC.
The errors are always the same.  They don't appear in 32 bit mode at all.
TJ thinks that these failures are related to failure of the
get_remote_addr() function in
apache/srclib/apr/network_io/unix/sockaddr.c.  It looks like getpeername()
doesn't work correctly in 64 bit mode on HP-UX.
If this is true, then this is not a mod_perl problem, but an Apache or
HP-UX problem.
Most likely it's not a mod_perl problem, since remote_addr in mod_perl is just 
an accessor to the connection object:

APR::SockAddr
remote_addr(obj, val=NULL)
    Apache::Connection obj
    APR::SockAddr val
    CODE:
    RETVAL = (APR__SockAddr) obj->remote_addr;
    if (items > 1) {
         obj->remote_addr = (APR__SockAddr) val;
    }
    OUTPUT:
    RETVAL
Could this have anything to do with IPv6?

Could you ask this at apr-dev? http://apr.apache.org/. That's where
apr/network_io/unix/sockaddr.c is coming from? I'm sure apr devs would gladly 
accept a patch with the fix if you have one.
