Bug 102931

I have some new info.

I downloaded and built apache, mod_ssl, php and mod_throttle from scratch and it works fine.  I 
built everything as closely to how redhat does as possible.  I tore apart their rpm spec files and did 
the layout exactly how they have it.

The key difference is this: 
There are a bunch of patches that redhat does to the apache source according to the spec file-

Patch0: mod_ssl-%{mod_ssl_ver}/pkg.sslcfg/sslcfg.patch
Patch1: apache_1.3.23-config.patch
Patch2: apache_%{version}-eapi-%{mod_ssl_ver}.patch
Patch3: apache-1.3.11-apxs.patch
Patch4: apache_1.3.14-mkstemp.patch
Patch5: apache_1.3.14-redhat.patch
Patch6: apache_1.3.20-apachectl-init.patch
Patch7: mod_ssl-%{mod_ssl_ver}/pkg.sslsup/sslsup.patch
Patch8: apache_1.3.23-dbmdb.patch
Patch9: apache_1.3.27-db.patch

I'm not a programmer and have no idea what these do but it will compile without them.  I have a 
feeling that something in one of these patches is what is causing mod_throttle to operate 
backwards.  Most of the patches appear to be for prior versions of apache and don't get applied as 
far as I can tell.

The ones that do apply appear to be:

apache_1.3.27-db.patch
----------------------
The "ndbm" Perl links with (the dbmmanage script is written in Perl) is actually
Berkeley DB, so force DBM to be Berkeley DB for httpd, too.

apache_1.3.27-eapi-2.8.12.patch
