I think in general your handlers should be prepared to be called on
subrequests. If one extra request is a problem, just imagine the hilarity
that will ensue when you get a directory request with indexes enabled.
Sounds like more than a laugh a minute.
You can, for example, check $r->is_initial_req and do your thing if so.
Any advice on tracking this down?
