Hello,

I really have to apologize, this is indeed a RC bug. I explain why:

Linux kernels older than 2.6.27 didn't support SOCK_CLOEXEC flag
with socket(2) syscall. The kernels supported in Lenny are under this
category.

When libapache2-mod-jk is build with a kernel that support SOCK_CLOEXEC
flag with socket(2) syscall, the result is a buggy module. This is the case
for Squeeze kernels. I will have to report this to upstream.

I will disable that flag until upstream sort this out and I'll prepare
a fix for this
right away. I guess this should be included in Squeeze 6.0.1 since it's a
true RC bug.

Thanks to Vanegh for giving me access to his system in order to debug
and fix this.

Cheers,
