Architecture: sparc64
Machine: sparc64
>Description:

ap2-python won't run on NetBSD 4.0_RC1 because it tries to create more
semaphore sets than the kernel actually has. 

>How-To-Repeat:

Build and install ap2-python. You may need to be using the worker MPM
in Apache 2.2. Apache will no longer startup.

>Fix:

Add "--with-max-locks=4" to CONFIGURE_ARGS. You can also work around
it by putting "PythonOption mod_python.mutex_locks 4" in your
http.conf file.

 I think that this PR has expired:

 - I successfully compiled and ran www/ap2-python on NetBSD-6.99.23/amd64
 - mod_python itself was relegated to the attic in June 2010 (though it
   may make a comeback).
 - 2 months after this PR, support for dynamic changing of SysV message
   queues and semaphores limits was added to NetBSD which makes the PR
   less of an issue.

State-Changed-Why:
Also, ap2-python just got marked EOL.

I concur, this PR is stale.
