Do you mean Apache 1.3.23?

It sounds like something wasn't initialized properly. Do you see
anything in the Apache server error log (where messages generated
during the OpenInteract::Apache process go) or the virtual host error
log? Also try setting DEBUG to 1 and restart the server to get more
messages in the vhost log.

I'm pretty confident this is a different problem. The 'NOTES' item
happens after a number of requests, usually when there were memory
issues from out-of-control processes. (I haven't seen this happen for
over a year, so I think these problems were fixed.)
