Neither am I. I didn't want to go file a bugzilla report if the code is
actually working the way it is supposed to work.

I thought there was a small chance that this was a known problem and
that perhaps there was a "test" version of apache with the fix.

Yes I was aware of the switch. I left it out of my original post because
my impression of the man page was that switch was only used to redirect
a command like:
htdbm -nb [ -c ] [ -m | -d | -p | -s ] [ -t ] [ -v ] username password
to stdout as opposed to
htdbm -b [ -TDBTYPE ] [ -c ] [ -m | -d | -p | -s ] [ -t ] [ -v ]
filename username password
which actually modifies the database.
I considered it a "test" mode for a particular htdbm usage per the
command Synopsis.
In any event I am calling htdbm -l -TDBTYPE from a perl CGI script and
just modified that script to redirect stderr ala 2>&1. It just took me a
while before the lights came on to what was occurring. I didn't think to
try -l -n on the same command so I can give that a shot... that is
probably a better solution for the problem if it works. Thanks for the
idea Johnny.
