I've a strange problem with a CGI-script.
The script works correctly together with Netscape but
returns "Premature end of script headers" when used with IE3.
It looks like IE3 closes the connection prematurely or like that.
The CGI-script receives a SIGTERM, and I assume it comes from Apache.
Is this a problem with IE3 or Apache?
