Which is *exactly* why I recommended the docs include a pointer to 
aprutil.  All modperl does it wrap the C function; it provides
no guarantees about the behavior itself (other than what's in 
the test suite), so it doesn't surprise me that there's an error
in the wrapper documentation.

The RFC is a guideline, not the final arbiter.  This link is exactly
what you are looking for:
