Are you aware of the wrapper editor debug_editor.c?

Well, you could just print the call stack unconditionally (look for
VC-specific means to do that). Otherwise, I suppose a global variable
(or an envvar) such as SEEN_THE_FIRST_close_file_CALL would do nicely.

Yes, ra_serf-specific, branch-specific, windows-specific at the same
time. Odd.

As another angle: why does the bug not trigger for Paul? Is it due to
his build flags, or due to his version of (mod_dav|apr|Windows|libserf)?
