[users@httpd] Starnge CGI problem with Apache2

[Deyan Stoykov <ds...@ecs.ru.acad.bg>]

     Hi everyone!

     I'm running Apache httpd under Windows 2000 Server SP4. We also have a
CGI application written in Visual FoxPro 5 that uses the VFPCGI library
(http://vfpcgi.narod.ru/). It works fine under 1.3.27, but when I upgraded to 2.0.47 the 
script started returning strange errors at random. I can't get much help on this issue 
from the developer because officially he doesn't test or support the app under anything 
other than IIS (which I'd like to avoid putting on our servers). I had a look at the CGI 
process when called by each of the 2 Apache versions with Process explorer from 
www.sysinternals.com, but there were no differences - they were running under the 
same credentials  (NT Authority/System) and had the same environment variables.
     The  server has the following modules loaded: mod_access, mod_alias, 
mod_autoindex, mod_cgi, mod_dir, mod_log_config, mod_mime, mod_negotiation, 
mod_setenvif.
     Of course, at least in theory, a pure cgi application should behave identically when 
called by different web servers. So my question is: are there any differences in the way 
apache and apache2 call cgi scripts that might be relevant in my case and what should I 
do to solve this issue. 
     In the bottom of the message I've put exrepts from the 2 conf files, that contain the 
stuff that I think is relevant.
    Thank you in advance.
