John-
You've described a case I hadn't considered. Send me your patch and
I'll clean it up, if necessary, and apply it.
BTW, as you surmise in your other post, mod_webkit would be a more
efficient apache adapter, most likely. The build instuctions are very
simple. Give it a try. I'll be curious to see if you have the same
problem with mod_webkit, as I honestly can't remember if I addressed it.
