 RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:
 
   *) Looping during check_headers() failure.
+     Fix potential looping in new check_headers() due to new pattern of
+     ap_die() from http header filter.  Also, remove the bad headers explicitly.
+     Trunk patch:  https://svn.apache.org/r1773293
+     2.4.x patch: trunk works
+     +1: covener, jim
+     -1: wrowe
+     covener: This is not ideal but the looping/OOM is bad.
+     jim: with the understanding that more work post release
+     wrowe: *IIUC* If we are transmitting the discarded body to the client,
+            and switching the code to 500, this isn't really a salvagable
+            resolution. Two alternatives suggested to the list a few days ago.
+     ylavic: how about r1773761?
 
   *) Final CVE check
