Attached to the RT ticket are a diff for Open3.pm from IPC::Open3, and
a test case which demonstrates the issue.

There isn't currently a fix that we can apply to the mod_perl codebase.

"Had the same problem when using open3() to start a process from a
handler in HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI."

Maybe you can go ping the IPC::Open3 owner?  Corion attached a test
case case, and ~jesse is a fairly prolific coder, so I think your
chances are good of getting a resolution.
