>Description:
In apahce httpd 1.3.x, an access to 'http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv/' results in an invocation of printenv CGI program.
However, in apache httpd 2.0.32, it seems to result in trying to find a script named 'printenv/' and issues a following error message on the browser.
Premature end of script headers: /opt/httpd-2.0.32/cgi-bin/printenv/
This behaviour is a problem when using 'viewcvs' for example.
>How-To-Repeat:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/printenv/
>Fix:
Sorry, no idea.
