Ah, no... I spoke too soon.

I didn't look closely enough, I wasn't logged in at the right machine, 
sorry. :)

It's still failing on CentOS 5.8 with Apache 2.2.3. I will just find 
another machine where the test suite works.

If you'd still like to debug the problem on CentOS 5.8 I can run any 
commands or test any patches for you.
