Howdy, Ryan.
Sorry to hear about your CGI woes.
Two considerations:
A) You are not using a REBOL/view to serve this cgi, yes?
If so, a REBOL/view would fail on boot trying to connect to
an X host that is not available. The process then hangs
out. This is a known problem. Use REBOL/core.
B) You are using an expired experimental? This would also
fail on boot-- though I don't know if it will hang out.
Maybe check to see if you can run the version of REBOL
directly.
So is the #! line pointing to the correct REBOL?
Otherwise, this script doesn't look like it could be
causing that problem.
How is this invoked, through an IMG tag?
You could also add a little logging:
write/append %banner-script.log now
I see that it is ending with .cgi. Perhaps another copy of
it is lying around in another directory getting invoked
erroneously?
