Actually, I just tried the same tests on a Linux distribution (Ubuntu 6.10 
running Perl 5.8.8, Apache 2.0.5x and mod_perl 2.03) and the results are 
exactly the same:
Test1 => changing memory location
Test2 => fix memory location
Test3 => changing memory location
Test4 => fix memory location

(I swapped Test3 and Test4 results in my previous post)

To be sure there's only one Perl Interpreter, I used these directives:
ThreadsPerChild 1
MaxClients 1

So, I can conclude that this not coming from my Test Environment, nor from 
Windows MPM, and that anyone should obtain the same results.
