I'd put my $5.00 on APR being the cause of this problem. Mikhail, you will probably need to patch APR when you build Apache. Try this patch, which I am guessing will work on NetBSD: Index: build/apr_hints.m4 =================================================================== RCS file: ./srclib/apr/build/apr_hints.m4,v retrieving revision 1.68 diff -u -r1.68 apr_hints.m4 --- build/apr_hints.m4 12 Aug 2004 13:44:29 -0000 1.68 +++ build/apr_hints.m4 27 Aug 2004 06:12:04 -0000 @@ -131,6 +131,8 @@ ;; *-openbsd*) APR_ADDTO(CPPFLAGS, [-D_POSIX_THREADS]) + APR_SETIFNULL(ac_cv_o_nonblock_inherited, [yes]) ;; *-netbsd*) APR_ADDTO(CPPFLAGS, [-DNETBSD]) + APR_SETIFNULL(ac_cv_o_nonblock_inherited, [yes]) The problem is that the APR library thinks a socket is blocking by default -- when in fact the reverse is true on some platforms (on OpenBSD, for example). After applying this patch to your Apache, run ./buildconf to rebuild the configure script. Then run ./configure, make, make install. Let me know if it works for you and cc the Apache APR dev list.
