Typical Apache brainfart. This happens frequently.
My experience is Apache porters are quite careless about
testing and verification; they assume themselves right.
Unless you are using a newer NT5 system, you do not want
any version of 1.3.x from 1.3.28 forward. Apache introduced
a very slow fatal bug in 1.3.28 version. Although reported
many times, this creeping bug has never been repaired.
Maybe this bug is fixed in 1.3.34 but who knows? So far,
none have been able to find a Win32 port of this version.
Version 1.3.27 was the last stable version released, and
it is very decent software exhibiting only a few bugs.
You can report this missing file, doubtful the file will
be made available anytime soon; support is an urban myth.
Apache is the best server software, but quality is degrading
because of a lax attitude amongst Apache insiders. Would not
be a surprise if Microsoft continues to capture a larger
market share because of the declining quality of Apache.
Personally, I only use Apache, after fixing bugs and errors.
