In order for Apache2::SizeLimit to work properly on RHEL5 (and thus in order for Bugzilla to perform well on RHEL5 under mod_perl): 1) The kernel from bug 322881 has to be installed. 2) Linux::Smaps must be installed. 3) The following patch must be applied to Apache2::SizeLimit: http://marc.info/?l=apache-modperl&m=126514792920784&w=2 So, if that Apache2::SizeLimit patch could be backported into the mod_perl package, that would definitely help Bugzilla admins who are using RHEL (which is the majority of Linux Bugzilla installations, I think).
This is needed for our own (Red Hat) move to mod_perl for our Bugzilla system. Dave
