>Description:
htpasswd does not return a meaningful exit code if everything works ok, so it
is pretty hard to destinguish between success and failure.
A statement return(0) or exit(0) as the very last statement would be great.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
include a return(0) or exit(0) as the very last statemen

>Description:
If I try forking within a cgi (perl script), the output displayed from the
script indicates that the cgi was executed twice.
However, removing the forking solves the problem. Down/Upgraded the perl.
Problem still persists.
Script works fine from a command prompt.
>How-To-Repeat:
write a little perl script that forks and have child perform a task such as
email back a user, and parent display an html. The output will indicate that
the script was invoked twice. Beware NS4 crashes in this case

Synopsis: forking in cgi produces duplicate invocation of the script
State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: marc
State-Changed-When: Thu Oct 9 06:33:38 PDT 1997
State-Changed-Why:
This is a bug in your script. Please read all the big notices posted before
submitting a PR; this has nothing to do with Apache.
Somewhere your script has a bug in it. It may not be flushing output
before forking, it may not be properly closing stdout in the child.
Post to comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi and perhaps someone can help
you. We don't have time to help everyone write their CGIs.
