Cherokee 1.2.99 - Front-line cache tests

Hello,
while building a 1.2.99 debian package for Lenny, I notice a
strange thing: the "Front-line cache: MISS/HIT static" test works on
x86 but fail on amd64.
The problem seems that, on amd64, the server won't put the "X-Cache:
HIT from localhost:1978" line (also the "Age" line is missed) but the
cache file, in the flcache directory, exists.

Regards,
Stefano

Are those results consistent? I mean, does it _always_ work on x86 and
_always_ fail on amd64? As far as I have seen the problem seems to be caused
by a race condition.

Confirmed, it always works on 32bit (even PPC) and fails on 64bit
consistently.

Going to browse source code a bit :)

Yes, at least on my machines; every time I load the test server I got
the same results:
x86

amd64

Lovely! This sort of issues are always easier to fix than race conditions.
The weird thing though, is that it works perfectly for me on MacOS X 10.6
for x86_64.

My first hunch is the sizeof(int). But I give you the benefit of the
doubt, and actually gdb it ;)

This brings back the old Cherokee times... where cherokee only checked the
first 4 bytes on the HTTP command on 32bit... PROPFIND for the win ;)
Nostalgiaaaa...
