>Description:
According to the CGI 1.1 specification, the server should parse the following 3 server headers,

Content-type:
Location:
Status:

Status apears not to be parsed in the correct manor.
If the cgi sends a printf("Status: 404 Not Found\n\n");
the server should treat it as a 404, and call the ErrorDocument 404 handler.
This however does not happen.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the following C source:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

  printf("Status: 404 Not Found\n\n");
  exit(1);
};

compile and place in a "cgi directory"

telnet server port
GET /cgi-bin/test HTTP/1.0

you will see a 0 lengthe document with a Content-type: plain/html
