[users@httpd] Buffering of script output in 2.0.40

[Sam Varshavchik <mr...@courier-mta.com>]

After upgrading from 1.3 to 2.0 it appears that output of CGI scripts is 
buffered, and is not sent to the browser until the script completes.  
Example:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo ""
echo "BUFFERED"
echo ""
sleep 5
env | sort

Running this script under 2.0.40 results in a five second pause, followed by 
"BUFFERED" and the environment.

A google search reveals that script buffering used to be the default in 1.2, 
and the default in 1.3 was unbuffered.  It's not clear why script output is 
buffered in 2.0.  Is there a way to get unbuffered script output in 2.0?
