Apache2 mod_python has been changed to enable randomized hashes to help fixing denial of service problems by injecting prepared values into Python hash functions. (CVE-2012-1150)
As some Python scripts might need a known hashing order, the old behaviour can be restored using a newly introduced module option called
PythonRandomizeHashes
The option is default on, but can be disabled if necessary for compatibility with above scripts.
