OK, sorry to be such a pest here but let me make sure I got this
right.

There is a sort of generic default allow nothing Directory statement
over '/'.

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

So does that then mean that setting execCGI on
/var/www/localhost/htdocs will not cover
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/subdir?

No.  You are correct in thinking that more specific <Directory>
sections override less-specific ones in general.  The specific
ordering is defined here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/sections.html#mergin

So you likely have another Options directive someplace.

Joshua.
