I just read this:
* pipes deadlock on all platforms with limited pipe buffers (e.g. both
Linux and Win32, as opposed to only Win32 on 1.3). The right solution
is either GStein's proposal for a "CGI Brigade", or OtherBill's proposal
for "Poll Buckets" for "Polling Filter Chains". Or maybe both :-)
I imagine this is in regards to stderr and stdout contending at the same time.
What if mod_cgi registered as output filter (the 1st one)...
and all that filter did was :
- read from the pipe bucket, convert it to a heap bucket, and passed it on to the
other output filters.....
- stderr is read in and discarded...
Would this solve any of the issues ?
