I experienced problems trying to install on an OSX (FreeBSD) configuration so I tried on RH9 with similar failures so back to the Mac and I broke out gdb and started poking at it.
Seems to be issues related to routine names that cause problems on systems that are RCF compliant in all aspects of DSO execution.
I greped the file with the appropriate changes, rebuilt it for apache 1.3x and 2.x under RH9, Darwin/FreeBSD, OSX and Windows and the overall performance was increased without any of the installation problems previously experienced.
I have submitted e-mail to the author and hopefull he will respond soon so I can forward the updated file to him for your benefit.
I don't follow threads much so unless an e-mail is sent directly to me with a clear and well defined subject, it may get ignored since I tend to receive hundreds of e-mails a day.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This is a discussion. You have identified what you feel is a problem. We are still looking into it, and do not necessarily agree.
Can you please identify the RFCs which are being violated? So far, I haven't been able to find any. And can you indicate exactly how this is causing a performance problem? Looking at both mod_auth_mysql and Apache code, I see no reason for a difference in performance.
We want to be compliant with all applicable guidelines, but need to know what the guidelines are.

If there are any problems with mod_auth_mysql, they should be posted here on SourceForge. That's what the forums, bugs database, etc. are for.
As a rule, I do not answer private email. This is a public module, and I believe everyone should be able to benefit from discussions of the module.

This is not a discussion, I found a problem, fixed it and have tried to contact you to pass it along.
I sent it to you as an attachment, what you do with it is up to you.
