No, 964 is a symptom of 767.

That last one is a hack. The problem is that you are using $PWD
as a place to store tmp files rather than the prescribed location
for that purpose ($TMPDIR or /tmp on unix, c:\temp if my rusty
dos/windows memory serves). You could hack around this symptom,
or you could fix the problem. If that means adding a couple
routines to apr, that's a win for everyone using apr IMNSHO.
Finding the appropriate place to store temporary files is a
general problem portable applications could use help solving.

You commented on that comment of mine no less than three times.
Calm down and laugh. I did make a mistake, though; i only made
that joke because i thought it was obvious the problem was a
symptom of the one i reported. Clearly i need to stop making
assumptions about the obviousness of my point of view ;->.
