absolute path as previously documented. PR39923 [Eric Covener]

writing to disk. Fixes a problem where mod_disk_cache was leaving
buckets in the intermediate brigade and not passing them to out on
exit. [Florian S. <f_los_ch@yahoo.com>, Graham Leggett]
*) mod_ssl: use a shorter setting for SSLCipherSuite in the default
default configuration file, and add some more information about
configuring a speed-optimized alternative.

temporary intervals with no active MPM children. [Jeff Trawick]
