I think the FreeBSD and Apache people need to > talk with each other. You need to tell the Apache developers not the FreeBSD developers. I haven't seen this reported to the Apache developers list and I don't always read this newsgroup (get too much mail to read newsgroups). Submit a bug report to the apache list for the record. Is there a way to reproduce this consistently. I've never seen this happen and none of the other Apache developers have either as far as I know and nearly all of us use FreeBSD as our development platform. I assure you that a bug this serious would have a high priority to fix. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd. (Netcraft Ltd. contractor) Elsevier Science TIS online journal project.
