I do not use fastcgi but modperl/Embperl and I had a similar problem several times. The problem for me was that I cannot really reproduce what triggered the problem. The only sure thing is that it started with mod_ssl being put into the server, as I did not have the problem without mod_ssl before. But then I did also upgrade Apache in that time, so this is not exact science. -- Jens-Uwe Mager HELIOS Software GmbH Steinriede 3 30827 Garbsen Germany Phone: +49 5131 709320 FAX: +49 5131 709325 Internet: jum@helios.de
