While this would be a bug, it does not seem severe enough to fix it in 
a stable release. Apache 1.3 is not included in Debian releases after 
etch. Therefore, if it is a problem for you, please migrate to apache 
2.2. You will have to migrate sooner or later anyway, since security 
support for Apache 1.3 will finish one year after lenny is released.

Cheers,
Stefan
