When python_filter couldn't find an actual mod_python filter handler it was returning DECLINED, but not releasing the interpreter. By rights this scenario should never have happened, but issues caused by use of the ap_internal_fast_redirect() function by Apache to implement DirectoryIndex directive was causing it, as details of filters weren't being copied from sub request object to parent. End result was further requests against that interpreter in that process would hang as lock for interpreter couldn't be acquired. Would also cause shutdown to hang with child processes needing to be killed off forcibly by parent Apache process. (MODPYTHON-146)
