I don't know, but in this particular case, it shouldn't be significant
because I see the problem when there is no error, so the GET variables
aren't needed.

That is odd. I use name-based virtual hosting, and I have both an
internal and an external address for each VirtualHost, but in all cases,
I specify the port to be 80. I don't know why apache2handler would show
0. I guess it is one more thing to google to look for clues.
