Connection time out problems

I have a case where a https connection times out, which causes an alarm 
to trigger, apache start shutting down and mod_ssl tries to flush the 
buffer in a non-blocking way and hangs the connection until restart 
(see the backtrace below).

I think the cause of this is the http_main.c patch for EAPI (see below) 
because it inserts the ap_call_close_connection_hook before setting 
B_EOUT instead of after.  If it would set B_OUT first and then call 
ap_call_close_connection_hook, any ap_bflush or ap_bwrite calls would 
return (-1) instead of trying to write data to the socket (in a 
non-blocking way).

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Brian
