this is a very common situation. basically, you can't throw an error (such as return NOT_FOUND or call die) after you have printed anything in Registry, since the first print effectively calls $r->send_http_headers behind the scenes. mod_cgi buffers the entire response before calling ap_send_http_headers, which is why they are different. such is the price you pay for speed. I'm pretty sure that at least the Eagle book talks about this aspect of programming with Registry, but I'm sure you'll find it in the guide somewhere as well.
