      2.4.x patch: Trunk patch works
      +1: sf, jorton
 
+   * opinions on more complete DefaultRuntimeDir use in 2.4.x?
+     o If a module has no config directive for a run-time file, merge
+       the fix from trunk (via voting on a patch) to respect DefaultRuntimeDir
+       instead of putting it wherever it does currently (generally
+       /tmp or relative to server root).
+       +1: trawick
+     o If a module has a config directive for the run-time file that
+       treats the configured path as relative to server root, preserve
+       that behavior but change the location when not configured to
+       respect DefaultRuntimeDir.  With these changes, users with no 
+       per-runtime-file configuration directives can control
+       everything with DefaultRuntimeDir.
+       BUT: Existing users of DefaultRuntimeDir might get a short-term scare
+       when some unconfigured run-time file starts respecting their 
+       DefaultRuntimeDir directive after an upgrade.
