Sorry for your inconvenience. How quickly do you want?

When I've posted the proposal of Carbon-free replacement of
ftmac.c, I was rewriting all (both of public and internal)
functions in ftmac.c by POSIX functions. Later I got busy
and my rewriting is not finished yet. I will do my best but
I think I cannot have sufficient time until mid of December.

BTW, I don't have Intel Mac in my hand. My friends have
64bit PPC Mac and 32bit Intel Mac, but nobody around me has
64bit Intel Mac. The trouble you reported (Apache crashed
by inappropriate calling of CoreFoundation) can be reproduced
on PPC Mac?
