> Affects: http_main.c, util.c
> ChangeLog: Ensure that rfc931() is given a sockaddr describing the local
> address (virtual host) that is currently in use.

> address for the virtual host currently in use!

> 45_dbm_groups.0.8.16.patch
> From: Rob H
> Subject: Bug fix for group authorisation checking
> Affects: mod_auth_dbm.c
> Changelog: Check all groups not just the first one

> From: RobH
> Subject: tweak dbmmanage to take optional "group" info

> 0/1 exit status when used in the "view" mode.

> Affects: mod_access.c
> ChangeLog: this makes sure that "allow from good.com"
> doesn't allow in anyone from nogood.com, even though the last eight
> characters of the DNS name match. Since IP-address matching is done
> on strings, there is a similar problem with it, which is also
> corrected.

> From: rst@ai.mit.edu
> Subject: Fix CGI timeouts in SSI's from causing problems

> Subject: Mod_Imap causes server error if no arguments
> Affects: mod_imap.c

> From: ???
> Subject: fixes core dump in use of "auth" with no "requires".
> Affects: mod_auth.c

> valid-user".
> The former behavior was a core dump.
>
> 52.extralibs.0.8.16.patch
> From: ???
This ones mine... (could've sworn I'd filled the from in).
> Subject: Correctly support EXTRA_LIBS and OS-dependent libs (AUX_LIBS)
> Affects: Configuration Makefile.tmpl
> Changelog: EXTRA_LIBS was used for two separate purposes in Configuration,
> firstly, to provide libraries needed by modules, and secondly, to
> provide OS-dependent libraries need globally by Apache. The second
> use defeats the first, so a new variable, AUX_LIBS is introduced to
> handle the second use.
>
> httpd_monitor
> From: Rob Hartill
> Subject: a monitoring program for watching httpd
> Affects: nothing
> Changelog: independent Perl script to monitor the child Apache
> processes.
