mod_rewrite generates spurious warnings: [Mon Jul 06 21:03:10 2009] [warn] mod_rewrite: Running external rewrite maps without defining a RewriteLock is DANGEROUS! when external maps (prg:) are configured and APR_LOCK_DEFAULT uses a method that does not require an external file (APR_USE_SYSVSEM_SERIALIZE, for example). Dunno if using apr_proc_mutex_defname() in mod_rewrite to only issue this warning for methods that require files is useful.
2.4.x doesn't have this warning any more.
