I don't buy that, so you may want to give us an answer for why is it included into the redhat 2.4 kernel if according to you it's incredibly questionable for merging into 2.4?
I merged it and it's trivial to merge, all "questionable" patches are obviously safe.
If Marcelo accepts my patches, I will be very glad to replace khttpd with tux into mainline 2.4. The two products are completly equivalent and risking to increase the khttpd userbase just because tux isn't in mainline doesn't make any sense to me, it can only waste resources. (despite it makes much more sense to use zope, apache, servlets and php instead of tux for anything real, first of all for security reasons, but that's another issue, here the issue is khttpd vs tux and this one is a no brainer)
