What does your server error file say? Usually the server log is pretty
specific about what the "premature end of script headers" means. Often this
includes some output, either from stderr or stdout.

In a CGI environment, certain variables are set that won't be set from the
command line. While I don't know which ones htsearch uses, the variables
HTTP_* are usualy good ones to examine. :-)
In short, the CGI will know it's not being called from the command line and
will not try to prompt for values.
