I am experiencing the bug described at
http://bugs.apache.org/index/full/1030 - that is, QUERY_STRING without a
"=" in it causes Apache to barf on the CGI program and give a "Premature
end of script headers" error message.
For example, http://localhost/cgi-bin/envlist.pl works, and
http://localhost/cgi-bin/envlist.pl?foo=bar works, but
http://localhost/cgi-bin/envlist.pl?foo causes a 500 Server Error.
The note at the above URL indicates that the bug is patched in 1.3b3.
Actually, it says that it occurs in 1.3b2 and will be patched in the
next version. Anyone know the status of this? I don't have a Windows
compiler handy, and so am unable to make the recommended fix at this
time. Bummer.

Could it be that it no longer asserts, but dies for some other reason?
Is anything logged?
Cheers,
Ben.

Yep, he's right. This bug still exists in the windows installed file. How
can this be? It is fixed in the current sources, and there are _no_
changes to the relevent source code between 1.3b3 and today. Um, is the
binary built with an old set of source?
