I would hope that apache does the setenv's in the child just before it does the exec, or even uses the exect() fn. I doubt very much that it is done *before* the fork. This means there is no leak (or rather, no long term leak), as the child dies rather promptly. Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
