[users@httpd] User cgi-bin doesn't work with 1.3.26, I'm stumped.

[Ken Causey <ke...@ineffable.com>]

I'm using 1.3.26 from Debian testing feed:

apache-ssl                 1.3.26.1+1.48-2

And I'm having the strangest problem, cgi's that work just fine in system 
cgi-bin directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ will not work in a user cgi-bin 
directory such as /home/ken/public_html/cgi-bin/

http://temp.premiernet.net/cgi-bin/bash.cgi  works

http://temp.premiernet.net/~ken/cgi-bin/bash.cgi  doesn't work

These are the exact same script:

temp:~# cat /home/ken/public_html/cgi-bin/bash.cgi 
#!/bin/bash
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo
echo "Bash says 'Hello'"

temp:~# cat /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bash.cgi | md5sum | sed 
's/\-/\/home\/ken\/public_html\/cgi-bin\/bash.cgi/' | md5sum -cv
/home/ken/public_html/cgi-bin/bash.cgi OK

Copy of server config can be found at

http://temp.premiernet.net/~ken/httpd.conf

All I get in error.log (even with LogLevel debug) is

[Mon Sep 16 10:56:46 2002] [error] [client 205.229.226.241] Premature end 
of script headers: /home/ken/public_html/cgi-bin/bash.cgi

ScriptLog output example:

I can't figure this one out.  What else would you like to know?
