I just tried the latter on my dev system, running Mason 1.22, Perl 5.8.0,
mod_perl 1.28, and Apache 1.3.28.  I couldn't duplicate your problem.  I
got the expected HTML error page.

Can you try downgrading to 1.21 and see if this still happens?  I suspect
it may be due to some other change on your system besides the Mason
upgrade.

You didn't paste anything in here.  Did something fail during the tests?
If so, please rerun the tests with "make test TEST_VERBOSE=1" and send the
output from the _failed_ tests.
