Bug 272170: www/mod_auth_cookie_mysql2 is not thread-safe
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=272170



--- Description ---
When using apache with a threaded MPM, this module can crash under certain
conditions. Crash is dependent on the way apache assigns work to
workers/threads, and can be influenced eg by moving resources within the site
file structure causing symptoms to be obscure and mysterious; we ran this in
production for nearly a year before a site reorganisation provoked the bug.

I'll add a patch RSN but this should be fixed upstream.
