Sorry, I don't have any ideas left without more debugging.

Here you go. It's a backport of the 2.0 code. You need the previous patch
(or 1.43) as well, that fix isn't included.

There is a very strange problem with Apache and SpeedyCGI that I've
been hunting down. Seems that STDERR is sometimes closed for the
persistent scripts when the connection isn't closed between requests
(ie. no Connection: Close HTTP 1.1 header). 

This can cause error messages not ending up in the server's error log.
It should only affect normal CGI browsing, not the DYNAMIC updates,
since the latter use HTTP 1.0. Still, you should probably be aware of
it if you try to debug the problem with a regular browser like Firefox
(which leaves the connection open between requests).
