>Description:
When using mod_include to execute a cgi in a .shtml page with the following content:

<html>
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi/env.cgi?name=Don"-->
</html>     

The following error is generated at the browser:
[an error occurred while processing this directive] 

The follwing entry is generated in the log file:
invalid CGI ref "/cgi/env.cgi?name=Don" in /www/amplespace/public_html/test/index.shtml

When you execute the same shtml without the passed parameter everything works fine.. ie:

<html>
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi/env.cgi"-->
</html>     

Using #include virtual is a work around, but is not really appropriate.
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure a standard 1.3.9 apache w/ MOD_INCLUDE and put in the following into the config file to activate cgi & ssi:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddType text/html .shtml 
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml

Also include in the <Directory> tag for the html home dir:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI Include
