Another little maintainance round to make 2.6 as stable as it could be:
mod_ssl version 2.6.6 is now available. Fetch it from...
http://www.modssl.org/source/
ftp://ftp.modssl.org/source/
This version mainly fixes two nasty bugs which were able to crash the
server. The first only if mod_ssl was built statically into Apache, the
second only if the new proxy stuff under --enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL
was used. So, if you're using mod_ssl <= 2.6.4 or mod_ssl 2.6.5 as a
DSO and in both cases don't use the new proxy stuff, don't panic - the
two bugs will not affect you. If you're using mod_ssl 2.6.5 statically,
please immediately upgrade. Else you're not forced but encouraged to
upgrade.
Thanks for the people on modssl-users for their help.
Yours,

Changes with mod_ssl 2.6.6 (04-Jul-2000 to 12-Aug-2000)
*) Fixed experimental HTTPS proxy code: A segfault was
produced by an incorrect logging command.
*) Fixed server restarts: Under non-DSO run-time situation, the
OpenSSL library was shutdown (and never re-initialized) and this
way caused segfaults on server restarts. This affected only
installations where mod_ssl+OpenSSL were built as a static module
instead of a DSO. This nasty bug was unfortunately introduced in
2.6.5 as a side-effect of an (otherwise correct) memory leak bugfix.
*) Upgraded both the user manual sources and the website
www.modssl.org from WML 1.6 to WML 2.0 format.
*) Various typo fixes in user manual.
*) Typo fix in INSTALL document related to RSAref.
