There was a problem with the CGI script handling binary output. This has been fixed in CVS and will be included in the next release. See http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/catalina/src/share/org/apac he/catalina/servlets/CGIServlet.java?r1=1.22&r2=1.23&diff_format=h and http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/catalina/src/share/org/apac he/catalina/servlets/CGIServlet.java?r1=1.23&r2=1.24&diff_format=h for the changes.
I have linked to the diffs for TC4 but the same problem existed (and has been fixed) in TC5.
