I've tossed a patch, apache_2.0.44-win9x-x86-apr-patch.zip, already confirmed good, in http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/ to resolve this bug;
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16288 The patch contains one file, bin/libapr.dll. Only one change to that binary, we revert to the apr/time/win32/time.c rev 1.40. It was bad code, but there is no better solution right now for Windows 9x (the daylight savings time flag is always computed as of 'today', not the time we are converting.) A patch is forthcoming and the startup bug will be resolved for 2.0.45. This patch is recommended for Windows 95, 98 and ME. It is not recommended (due to the buggy nature of the daylight saving time flag) for any NT (2K or XP) installations. I'm burnt to a crisp. Would someone within the docs team be willing to pick this up and distribute the information on the httpd-dist README pages, the comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows newsgroup and the users lists? I'd be very grateful. Sorry for the burnout ... I need sleep to get back on track to prepare for a maintenance 2.0.45 release.
