Here's a quick patch, straight from Apache CVS, against Apache 1.3.28.
Just run the commands below in the directory above your apache src
directory and recompile.
wget -O apache-zombie-cgi.diff
"http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/apache-1.3/src/main/alloc.c.diff?r1=text&tr1=1.145&r2=text&tr2=1.147&diff_format=u";
patch apache_1.3.28/src/main/alloc.c < apache-zombie-cgi.diff
