Since the bulk of messages to the list seem to be problems (not that 
there's anything wrong with that), I wanted to throw out a success 
story.  We have been using mod_layout for a little over a year to add a 
sliver header to all of the sites we host (around 175).  We had been 
using Apache 1.3.x and mod_layout 3.2.1, which worked -- with some 
annoying warts.  Chief among them was 3.2's lack of proper 
last-modified: headers, which caused our upstream Squid cache to not 
cache headered pages.  Recently we encountered a situation where it 
became necessary to upgrade to the Apache 2.0 series, so I took a fresh 
look at mod_layout 4.0.2a (I had tried it sometime back, as seen on 
this list).  After a few hours of mucking around, I was stuck on the 
same problem I reported here over a year ago -- garbage being randomly 
included in the HTML output.  I saw where krow had recommended the CVS 
version to someone, so I figured I'd give that a try.  Lo and behold, 
it seems to have fixed the bug!  Brian, you ought to think about 
releasing those changes and bumping the version number.
