You're absolutely right, I've pared it down a lot while waiting for your
answer. I was trying to get my test case to you as fast as possible, that's
why I didn't spend that much time on it before. It's still not quite 25
lines, but it's much shorter.

I've actually pinpointed the problem to one HTML tag in the output that
Template-Toolkit sends to Apache as a result of the cgi script's run. But I
still prefer giving you (or whomever will try this) the code so they can see
for themselves. It's about 3k now... :-)

OK, it's at http://whitestar02.webhop.org/Files/ApacheCrash.zip . Please go
easy on the server, it's on a residential cable line...

Inside, you'll find a simple CGI script (50 lines), one template file (26
lines) and a README (123 lines). Considering the readme file is the biggest
of the bunch, and that you can determine if the server crashes or not by
removing 4 tags in the template file, I think it's pretty stripped down.

Please read the README before trying to run it. In it, you'll find details
on my config and a short discussion of what happens in the various cases I
tried. Note that since I found the tags that cause the problem, I can
continue to work without them, but I'd still like to know why it crashes on
a script that ran perfectly in straight CGI.

Thanks a lot for trying to get this sorted.
