Hi Fred (and hopefully the list),

as seen in <http://bugs.debian.org/650675>, we're seeing numerous lines of
 Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x7f9c0c347490, Perl interpreter: 0x7f9c0c1a2dd0 during global destruction.
on Debian unstable with 2.0.5 and Perl 5.14.2. I've been trying to get
patches through to the mod-perl dev list with no success; there seems
to be something broken with the list moderation. (I'd be happy to provide
message-ids and the like if somebody is interested, and they can also
be found in the bug log.)

I've verified that those still get emitted with 2.0.6 RC1. The
test suite passes, but 
 % grep unreferenced t/logs/error_log|wc -l
 30

This seems related to -Dusethreads and started with 5.13.6 or so; please see
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650675#50
for the full analysis including the perl change that broke this.

Could you please consider these patches for 2.0.6, or let me know if
I've got it all wrong.

Thanks for your work,
