The Apache HTTP Project will no longer be providing releases for security fixes,
enhancements or critical bugs to 1.3.  See;

  http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/Announcement1.3.html

So while a patch might be 'published' - it will not be released.  The original
plan called for taking down 1.3.42 from the dist/ site some 6-12 months.  We'll 
see.

It should *NOT* be surprising to users that 1.3 is not supported.  This was 
hinted
at for a decade, and officially announced on 2 Feb 2010 accompanied by various 
press
reports heralding its demise.
