mod_cgi works intermittently

           Summary: mod_cgi works intermittently
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.ringofsaturn.com
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I have been troubleshooting an issue with my perl cgi scripts not working for 
about 3 weeks now.  I am running on FreeBSD 4.7 and using apache 1.3.27 with 
mod_ssl version 2.8.12 as well as mod_php4-4.2.3.  All of my perl scripts that 
worked on the previous system now produce premature end of script headers.  I 
am using a known working httpd.conf file (it worked on my previous install).  
My scripts work correctly from the command line and produce proper HTTP1.0 
headers.  I have also compiled a hello.c file to test if it was just perl and 
that is not the case.

The interesting issue on this one is that these scripts all the sudden started 
working when I did essentially nothing to solve the problem.  Well, I had to 
make a change to httpd.conf (or so I thought) because all of my perl scripts 
would now only accept GET data and not POST.  When I restarted apache using 
apachectl graceful, again, all my cgi scripts broke.  PHP works fine.  This is 
an error that is way outside all of the usual FAQ's on cgi's not working as I 
am wits end on how to solve it.

I'm almost wondering if apache is trying to execute the cgi scripts and is 
unable to do so for some reason.  Maybe not able to start a new process.  Also, 
for about 10 seconds today after the cgi's broke, the perl and C scripts both 
executed, and then stopped again.

So, any ideas?  I'm not sure if I found a bug in apache or not, but this is way 
outside of my knowledge base.

Thanks!
