No.

No.  Apache 1.3 plain vanilla install with -ssl.

Chris, I didn't submit this as a bug because I don't consider it a
bug.  This is PEBCAK, plain and simple.  It is 100% reproducible if
you quickly click twice or more on a link that executes a SQL query.

I discovered this when a client told me they got this error a lot, but
I couldn't reproduce it.  Drove out, and when I saw their finger
bounce twice on the mouse button I realized what was happening.  After
that I could reproduce it anywhere, anytime just by doing the same
thing (as long as the link executed a SQL query).

I fixed the problem with a hammer (threatened to use it on their
fingers if they clicked more than once).

Ciao,

David A. Bandel
