That's what I suspected. Before the security update, apache did not
stop processing when the client aborted the connection. Now it does
and returns an error to the caller of ap_pass_brigade(). It seems the
actual bug is that mod_fcgid logs this error at loglevel warn instead
of something more appropriate, like debug. I don't think there is a
bigger problem. But if your users have real problems, please tell me.
Maybe the logging can be fixed in mod_fcgid in the next stable point
release.
Cheeers,
Stefan
