SAPI/Apache: Some characters in incomonig variable names are silently changed (fwd)

resending due to no response: Hello list, It's fairly easy to fix this problem, by just estrdupping the keys before passing them on onto "php_register_variabele" (sapi/apachi/mod_php4.c:253). The problem is however where to free this estrdupped keys again. Can somebody with some deep knowlegde of the SAPI code look in into this?
