Hi,
there is a very old bug report at 
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10744, which applies 
to 'suexec' of all versions of Apache!

When the 'execv' of suexec fails, suexec isn't able to log
the 
errormessage correctly, because it already has been closed
and suexec 
dropped it's privileges to reopen it!

I am not the original poster of this problem (who described
it for 
version 1.3.X), but I just noticed the problem under version
2.2.4 and 
added a patch for it for your convenience...

So what do you think? Isn't it time to close a five year old
bug? 

Have fun,
   ++frank

P.S.: And while looking at suexec: Don't you think it's also
time to 
correct http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7862
(gid is 
incorrectly shown as number instead of it's name)? It's more
like a 
finger exercise than a real problem...
