Operating systems: Windows NT and Windows 98
>Description:
When I call to an EXE program under Apache for Windows (allways the same) it could happen:

a) The request goes well and y see the correct page at the client.
b) Sometimes I see the next error message:
   Couldn't spawn child process.
c) Sometimes I see the next error message:
   Premature end of script headers.

Under the shell (COMMAND.COM) the result of the aplication is allways the correct one.

Why? How can I solve these problems?
>How-To-Repeat:
I can send you the applications (EXE's) and the source code if you want.

>Fix:
I don't know if it is a problem of missconfiguration, a problem of Windows or a problem of the web server.
