CGI procs defunctioning

           Summary: CGI procs defunctioning
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.26
          Platform: PC
               URL: N/A
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Critical
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: haj@zhat.dk


I wrote some CGI programs in C++ and compiled with g++ on Linux RedHat 7.3 
standard configuration. I have installed Apache from source including PHP4 
support as static module.

I noticed that all of my CGI programs produced output very slowly. I made a 
simple "Hello world!" test CGI to see if this is a general problem. It is. All 
the CGI-processes appear as <defunct> in top. 

Run in the console, my programs execute extremely fast.

I solved my problem making non-parsed header versions of my CGI apps. They 
execute fast enough, but still appear as defunct in the process list.

Here is my test app:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    puts("Content-Type: text/html\n");
    puts("Hello world!");
    return 0;
}

compiled using command: gcc hello.c -o hello
Invoked through URL: http://server_ip/cgi-bin/hello it sometimes takes up to 5 
seconds when refreshed. The first request is handled quickly though.

here's my httpd.conf:
