You are right -- the modules are "garbled". Sorry, this is my fault!

The Apache module API uses a special API version number to refer which
DSO/DLL module is compatible with Apache's core runtime. This API
version number changes within Apache if something at the API itself is
changed, which is not that frequently for 1.3.x.

mod_session.c has been compiled using apache-1.3.21-dev (a CVS
snapshot) and unfortuntatly the API version for 1.3.21 _has changed_,
so the apache-1.3.20 binaries don't accept the "garbled"
mod_session.dll.

Please grep a recent version of apache. Currently 1.3.22 is almost
before release state at http://dev.apache.org/dist or re-compile
mod_session on your own for 1.3.20 using the instructions provided
within the Apache for Cygwin manual.
