*) Reverted a minor optimization in mod_ssl.c that used the vhost ID
as the session id context rather that a MD5 hash of that vhost ID,
because it caused very long vhost id's to be unusable with mod_ssl.

*) Fix the link to the description of the CoredumpDirectory
directive in the server-wide document. PR 8643. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Fixed SHMCB session caching. [Aaron Bannert, Cliff Woolley]
*) Synced with remaining changes from mod_ssl 2.8.8-1.3.24:
- Avoid SIGBUS on sparc machines with SHMCB session caches
- Allow whitespace between the pipe and the name of the
program in SSLLog "| /path/to/program". [Cliff Woolley]
*) Introduce mod_ext_filter and mod_deflate experimental modules
to the Win32 build (zlib sources must be in srclib\zlib.)

synchronization code to reduce mutex contention [Brian Pane]

*) Fix subreqs that are promoted via fast_redirect from having invalid
frec->r structures. This would cause subtle errors later on in
request processing such as seen in PR 7966. [Justin Erenkrantz]
*) More efficient pool recycling logic for the worker MPM [Brian Pane]
*) Modify the worker MPM to not accept() new connections until
there is an available worker thread. This prevents queued
connections from starving for processing time while long-running
connections were hogging all the available threads. [Aaron Bannert]

*) SECURITY: Added the APLOG_TOCLIENT flag to ap_log_rerror() to
explicitly tell the server that warning messages should be sent
to the client in addition to being recorded in the error log.
Prior to this change, ap_log_rerror() always sent warning
messages to the client. In one case, a faulty CGI script caused
the server to send a warning message to the client that contained
the full path to the CGI script. This could be considered a
minor security exposure. [Bill Stoddard]

omit the first carriage return so the first item in the list

that it would actually get called. This fixes a core dump

*) Trigger an error when a LoadModule directive attempts to
load a module which is built-in. This is a common error when
switching from a DSO build to a static build. [Jeff Trawick]
*) Change instdso.sh to use libtool --install everywhere and then
clean up some stray files and symlinks that libtool leaves around
on some platforms. This gets subversion building properly since
it needed a re-link to be performed by libtool at install time,
and the old instdso.sh logic to simply cp the DSO didn't handle
that requirement. [Sander Striker]
