Hi,
The server has apr 0.9.4 installed. I guess from your post there are known
problems with earlier versions of the apr library. If that is the case I'll
not enter it as a bug in the tracking system.
Thanks
Rich.

What is *very* important in this context is the APR version RHEL4 is
using. Any version before 0.9.7 is bad business in terms of low-disk
situations.
