Package: apache
Version: 1.3.26-0woody6.cril0
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

Hi,

with a long status page, such as 15 kilobytes, the result of starting

   /usr/sbin/apachectl status

is that spurious (empty) temporary directories remain in /tmp.

The problem is because apachectl status starts lynx -dump, which creates
and normally removes a temporary directory. However, when there is much
data sent by lynx to stdout to a pipe to apachectl, the current
apachectl implementation breaks the pipe in the middle, killing lynx.

Here is a work-around to ignore spurious lynx data instead of abruptly
closing the pipe:

You filled the bug http://bugs.debian.org/298836 in Debian BTS
against the package apache. I'm closing it at *unstable*, but it will
remain open for older distributions.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/418266. That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
