Remove the module mod_userdir or change "UserDir public_html" to
"UserDir disabled".

Uhhh... What exactly are you asking? You sent one other message to
this list, and I received it along with everyone else. But I don't
see why you are addressing this to me in particular. I am not the
only person on the list.

You can try the [PT] flag to RewriteRule..

Mod_userdir does not seem to be processing rewritten urls. That is why I had
to proxy a rewritten url, so that the url would be processed afresh and go through
mod_userdir, to get suExec to do its work:
RewriteRule ^/people/([^/]+)/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /~${name-to-login:$1|nobody}/cgi-bin/$2 [P]
Can I force mod_userdir to process the result of a rewrite rule?

That is how suexec is designed in apache 2. It will only work for
virtual hosts with SuexecUserGroup or requests that are processed by
mod_userdir.

But I do need suExec to work so that user cgi-bin programs run with the the
corresponding user-ids. If I am not mistaken, suExec relies on urls starting
with ~user to do that.
In fact, I found that any rewriting of cgi-bin urls causes suExec to fail.
Is that expected or a bug with suExec?
For example, if I rewrite /~user/cgi-bin/XYZ/tail to /~user/cgi-bin/tail/
suExec do not work anymore, and the script runs with the uid of apache.
The following rewriting scheme solved my problem, without distrubing suExec.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteMap lowercase int:tolower
RewriteMap name-to-login txt:/home/common/http/map.name-to-login
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^WEB\.SERVER\.IP\.ADDR$
RewriteRule ^/~.*$ - [F]
RewriteRule ^/people/([^/]+)(.*)$ /people/${lowercase:$1}$2
RewriteRule ^/people/([^/]+)/cgi-bin/(.*)$ /~${name-to-login:$1|nobody}/cgi-bin/$2 [P]
RewriteRule ^/people/([^/]+)(.*)$ /~${name-to-login:$1|nobody}/public_html/$2
</IfModule>
