Hmm, it usually took a while to show up, but it should be reproducible
within one day. The bigger problem is the other developers getting upset
if they can't commit properly :-). At least I have now a working version
I always can go back to.

APR version is 1.2.7, the script is just a simple shell script that
checks that the log entry isn't empty (only slighly modified with an
explanation message from the example script). Running the script with
bash and ksh made no difference.

For the investigation work, what is the proper simple way to put in some
debugging printf's that are logged into apache's error_log? What
currently mystifies me is the first waitpid() call in the strace by APR
where pid is -1. Looking at the APR code I don't understand how this can
happen since fork() properly returned pid 15158 and so I want to log
cmd_proc.pid in hooks.c.

Franz.
