I can reproduce this, although rather unreliably, by running the
test suite in a loop. It happens with both apache2-mpm-prefork and
apache2-mpm-worker, although it seems rarer with -worker.

The test suite uses the default Apache::TestConfig setting of MaxClients
2, but (at least) this particular test clearly expects that the requests
are served by the same process. When this doesn't happen, the above
failure results.

Patch to set MaxClients to 1 attached, I haven't seen a single failure
with this. Not sure if this should apply to Apache 1 as well; that's
not an issue for Debian though.
