mod_perl 1.99_13

[Swen Schillig]

I figured a few strange outputs while running make test
after a successful compilation of mod_perl-1.99-13
saying that
        the server couldn't be started (syntax error at line 27 of httpd.conf -> Listen localhost:8xxx) (Linux on i386)
or
        dubios output for most of the tests (Linux on PPC)

I figured that this problem is in relation to an entry in the /etc/hosts.
The entry for the localhost for IPV6 is causing this problem.
If it's commented out everything works fine.
the entry looks like this

# special IPv6 addresses
::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback

and is the standard for all SuSE distros (SuSE Linux and SLES )!

At the moment I can live with this problem but I don't know
the reason behind it, maybe there will be a problem I haven't
figured by now.
The strange thing is that with mod_perl-1.99_12 everything works fine !!!!

Did anybody experienced the same problem ????
