It is not just ap_rflush() but also ap_rwrite(), as it is also using
the request pool.

To avoid the problem would mean creating a separate pool just for the
one operation and for the buckets to be allocated from that, with the
pool destroyed at the end of the call.

Unfortunately it isn't perhaps quite as simple as that though. This is
because one can only use a separate pool if you know the buckets would
be used up and no longer required after the call. When doing a flush
this may be the case, but need to check. Definitely not the case if
not doing a flush though.
