OK.  To simplify things I put up another server on port 8000.  This time 
it's a plain apache (before it was from apache-ssl package) and I've 
trimmed the httpd.conf down to what I believe is close to minimal (well,  
maybe not quite).  You can see it at

http://temp.premiernet.net:8000/httpd.conf

By changing one single character I can make the scripts either work or not 
work:

With ScriptAlias /ken/cgi-bin/ /home/ken/public_html/cgi-bin/

http://temp.premiernet.net:8000/ken/cgi-bin/bash.cgi  WORKS

With ScriptAlias /~ken/cgi-bin/ /home/ken/public_html/cgi-bin/

http://temp.premiernet.net:8000/~ken/cgi-bin/bash.cgi  DOESN'T WORK.

Now I may be making a mistake here.  If so please point it out, but it 
seems to me that both of these should work.

As mentioned before I'm currently on #apache on freenode with a nick of 
kencausey.

As I said, it is very likely an suexec problem.

Joshua.
