The issue identifies 2.4.9 as broken, however it also points to the
cause as being the erroneous patch in

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D54611

which was applied to 2.2.25 and 2.4.5.  The bug, or a variant of the
bug, is present in all subsequent versions until fixed in 2.2.28 and
2.4.10.

Julian's point remains: how should we handle the broken versions?
Should we blacklist at configure time and refuse to build, or should we
allow the build and FAIL the regression tests, or should we allow the
build and XFAIL?  At present we do all three.
