Status:	Closed	Package:	Apache2 related
PHP Version:	5.1.4	OS:	Linux
Private report:	No	CVE-ID:	None

Description:
------------
When using DirectoryMatch in httpd.conf / .htaccess and virtualHost entries, then php_values inside those directives get scrambled. The reason seems likely to be that in merge_php_config the new_conf parameter gets modified even this is strictly forbidden by apache2 api!

Solution: Make a copy of new_conf (with proper hash initialization) and return a pointer to the new copy.


Reproduce code:
---------------
I can provide a testcase configuration on request.

Expected result:
----------------
The configuration parameters should be as configured.

Actual result:
--------------
Configuration is mixed occasionally.

It'd be good to have a couple of examples.
