bind 8.1.2

>Description:
setting "options debug" in /etc/resolv.conf causes a bad header to be set,
which in turn causes a 500 error at the end of some CGI scripts, after the
script
has performed its function(s).
this is the error that pops up on screen and in the error log:
malformed header from script. Bad header=;; res_setoptions(" de:
/htdocs/interweb/cgi-bin/email
this was checked with both Apache 1.3.1 and 1.3.3
>How-To-Repeat:
using any instance of Matt's FormMail (v1.6) CGI produces this output. my
version is
up at http://beta.iweb.net/apps/form.html and
http://beta.iweb.net/cgi-bin/email,
but obviously can't be used since this is on our production server.

since i haven't delved into the code, not yet.
