Joe, you're a total genious!  I patched my httpd.spec file as follows:

And then I rebuilt the package and upgraded the rpm.  (I couldn't use the 
standard rpm "%patch" because I think Joe forgot to include the 
"http-2.0.49/modules/generators/" prefix in the diff headers in his patch 
file.)  After restarting, all my problems immediately disappeared.  I'm 
putting this on my PRODUCTION servers right now.  (I never close STDERR in any 
of my CGIs anyway.) 
 
Thank you!
