Ben,

Sorry for not responding sooner.  Twice I started the effort to dig up this
bug report to see what it was but got distracted.  A direct bug url helps!

I don't anticipate a fix for 1975 (loadparams() does not work in mod_php
or mod_python situation) for any of the 4.10.x bug fixes releases.  I'd
like to fix it for 5.0 but even that is not certain, and it seems to me
that the workaround should not be too onerous (parse the url and populate
the params manually).

As to the question about intermittent crashing, we would definately need
more details to track that down.  It could be almost anything.

Best regards,
