   where mod_lisp2-2.c (which is based on a different implementation) works
   has expected if the handler contains (sleep n).

   But since mod_lisp2-2.c occasionally crashes Apache and has no support
   for the latest Edi's improvements
   (since is based on mod_lisp 2.33) I would say that the option to move
   back to apache 1.3 with the latest mod_lisp.c 2.38  is still a good
   move, until someone (Marco Antoniotti & Co.) with enough experience has
   time to port and test mod_lisp.c 2.38 to Apache2.

I'm interested to know if there is a reliable way to crash apache
using "mod_lisp2-2.c".  If so, I'll fix it.  I am also willing to
update the implementation with the 2.38 improvements, provided that
it doesn't take more than a day or so.

The main problem is that I haven't been using the module.  (I'm still
using Apache 1.x.)  I wrote the module for a colleague, so that he
could use my server-side software, and I haven't heard about any
problems from him.

Are there any other known problems with this code?
