It's empty. Always.

I have tried with the latest version of CGI.pm - no improvement.

Also the user often (but not always) gets a '500 server error' message.
This happens at least 20 times a day on our site, so I don't think it
is the user pressing stop.


Other things that may be useful:

- This happens in a script that is called as a CGI, not through mod perl.
I have not seen it happen through mod perl. Unfortunately a bug in mod proxy
means that I have to run it as a CGI.

- It is an upload script that handles large files - usually over 1MB

- I also use CGI::Cookie in this script.
