Ack - I suspect that I may have bungled the patch (which my
mail reader messed with a little bit)... I've backed off the
patch for now and asked Phillip to send me one as a file att.
so that even _I_ can't mess it up :)

Could those of you who use CVS try updating your FCGIServer.py
to verify that it works again and let me know? Once I get the
patch back from Phillip I'll probably need a volunteer or two
to try it out on their (non-IRIX) sites before checking it in
again... Thanks!
