Here are a few suggestions...

1) If you're going to quote an archived message, you should include
an URL to the message, or at least include the date of the message,
to make it easier to find.  This particular message was from almost
3 1/2 years ago (3 May 1999).  How good do you expect a busy man's
memory to be?

2) It often helps to read the whole thread carefully.  I gave Jorge
some suggestions on how to track down the error.  He never got back to
me.  The ball was in his court.  It was his problem to solve.  If he
did, he didn't tell me about it, so your question might be better
directed to him than to me.  If an internal server error can be pinned
down to a bug in htsearch, we'll certainly try to fix the bug, but without
any server error log messages to look at it's impossible to pin down the
error to anything, let alone a bug.

3) Check the FAQ.  There are a few entries dealing with internal server
errors:

http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.7
http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.13 and
http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.14

Generally, the error means htsearch aborted before outputting any header.
You need to find out why it's aborting on your system.

4) Keep ht://Dig related questions on the appropriate mailing list, please.
See http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q1.16 and 1.17

> Premature end of script headers usually means that htsearch died before 
> outputing its "Content-type: text/html" header. Check the server error 
> log to see if it gave any error messages at that time. If that doesn't 
> help, try running htsearch in interactive mode, from the command line, 
> to see if it dies that way too. If you get a core dump, get a stack 
> backtrace from the debugger to see where it's dying.
