Hi Margarita,
I am quite puzzled by your bug report. You are running
apache from woody on a sid machine? In this case plase be sure that all
the system is correctly updated and check if the problem is still there.
If you are tring to run an apache from sid into woody that do not expect
anything good out of it. You are not supposed to mix distributions.
Please let me know which is the situation on that machine otherwise i have
no way to help you or reproduce the problem. In the meanwhile this bug
will be tagged moreinfo.
Thanks
Fabio
