>Description:
I have a small CGI-program that does nothing more then display the user with a dialog box and upon receiving information places that information in a file (appended) and then displays the dialog box again. When executed, the script displays the box a first time but when submiting information (via POST), the server experiences an internal error, thus returning an errormessage. If I start httpd on a virtual terminal, I can see on stderr that the server outputs "Ouch!  malloc failed in malloc_block()". Other cgi-scripts works perfectly well.
>How-To-Repeat:
Unless I have fixed it, the script is on http://poledra.coyote.org:8080/mush/send.cgi and expects a variable as a command-line argument, thus: <URL:http://poledra.coyote.org:8080/mush/send.cgi?2>.
