Careful with dem hashes...

Karl and I had a realization this morning that when you do

    apr_hash_set (hash, key, keylen, val);

The keys are *not* copied into the hash's internal pool.

Now, we've all been paranoid about duplicating value-objects before
storing them, but I wonder if folks have been applying this same
mentality to the key objects.

We need to be careful that the stored key isn't ever allocated in a
subpool that lives *below* the pool that the hash is in.

I've already searched through most of our codebase, but I don't know
enough to analyze two specific spots. Greg H? Jimb? You guys might
want to double-check.

(grepping for `apr_hash_set':)
