I think taking a backup before screwing with a production system (for
whatever value of "production") is nothing short of standard, expected
sysadmin practice.  But we're all lazy and wish we didn't have to ;-)

Try upgrading to Apache 2.0 (its packaged in unstable, though I'm unsure
how the hell that package got past the RM.  I think it was carried like
a pathogen ;-)   It's nasty on various levels of nastiness.

On the flip side, I was running Apache 2.0 on FreeBSD quite happily four
months?  Maybe more?  before that ... package ... hit Sid.  Nice to see
Sid being what it should be though... lots of broken, nasty things ;-)
rather than the release everyone feels the need to run to keep up with
the Joneses.

Oh, sorry, I tell a lie.  The threaded worker was broken on FreeBSD, but
I had a UP box so I wasn't too concerned... just switched for the
standard one instead.  It had a nasty case of file descriptor amnesia
which made accessing any URL's interesting to say the least ;-)
