Bug#306101: gcachecommon.c error

[Aj Lavin <aj@ectologic.com>]

I seem to be having the same problem as the original poster. When 
accessing apache-ssl site, browser sometimes gives an error to the 
effect that the session was unexpectedly closed. Retrying the URL will 
give the same error a few times, then finally it starts working and 
continues to work thereafter. The error appears only to  happen after 
not accessing the site for a while. Logs implicate gcache.c.

/etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf:

SSLCacheServerPath /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache

# Set the global cache server port number, or path. If it is a path, a Unix
# domain socket is used. If a number, a TCP socket.
#SSLCacheServerPort 1234
SSLCacheServerPort /var/run/gcache_port

# Directory for the cache server to run in (in case of crashes). Optional.
#SSLCacheServerRunDir /tmp

# Set the session cache timeout, in seconds (set to 15 for testing, use a
# higher value in real life)
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 15

-----------------------------------
