>Description:
When using a CGI program, environment variable names like HTTP_REFERRER get
changed to '_____________' making it impossible to use them in a CGI program.
>How-To-Repeat:
Reverse the fix, described below.
>Fix:
I traced the error to old lib files. I used these:
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.7.14
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.3.12
The problem dissapeared when I updated the lib files to these versions:
libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1.9.9
libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.4.44
