Strange apache-status text on screen

I have apache2.2.6 installed. A graceful restart was done the other day and when I bring up the server-status screen now, I get a section of the code from the ssl.conf appearing under the Server Version line of the Apache-status screen. I have no idea what is causing this. This text is directly from the ssl.conf. The rest of the server status screen is fine.

Any suggestions?

Thank you


Server Version: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.6 from client. When you need a different shutdown # approach you can use one of the following variables: # o ssl-unclean-shutdown: # This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no # SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. This violates # the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use # this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where # mod_ssl sends the close notify alert. # o ssl-accurate-shutdown: # This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a # SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the close notify # alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in # practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use # this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation # works correctly. # Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP # keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable # keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this. # Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround # their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and # "force-response-1.0" for this. SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 # Per-Server Logging: # The home of a custom SSL log file. Use this when you want a # compact non-error SSL logfile on a virtual host basis. # disabled this on 10/10/04 -- no need to keep this log # commented out the following two lines #CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \ # "%t %h %

THis is very strange. After I restarted apache yesterday the message between the Server Version and Server Built lines were gone. Today I looked and now a variable from the httpd.conf file is there (MaxSpareServers). I am behind a firewall on a private network, and I have 3 other servers that this is not happening to, each running Solaris 8 and apache 2.2.6.

Does anyone have an idea what is happeneing here.

I have discovered this is a bug discovered in 2.2.6 and will be fixed in 2.2.7. There are also patches that can be applied. The bug number is Bug 43865.
