Another clue about this weird bug is....
If you make undefined or bad system calls on a Windows box the app will
throw this error. For example, in moving a PHP app from a *nix
environment to a Windows2003 Server env. the following line of code
WILL cause the "CGI Heart attack" to occur:
system("rm /usr/local/apache/sessions/$THIS_SESSID");
That dog won't hunt on an NT machine and causes this error to occur.
Remove the line (or rewrite it to use the proper NT syntax) and the
error goes away.

Hi!
I have come to this error all the time and finally decided to do
something and **SURPRISE** it worked!!
And I say it worked because I tried it before and didn't work at all.
The solution is to install PHP under IIS as an ISAPI module and not as
a CGI processor.
I have Windows XP, IIS, MySQL, PHP 4.3.4 and is working great without
this problem.
Also, follow the exact instructions as they appear in the install.txt
file in the php directory.
bye.

The same problem was also noticed on Windows Server 2003 machine with
IIS 6.0, php version 4.3.6, and mysql 3.2x.xx, faulting php application
is moodle (www.sourceforge.net). The "CGI application misbehaved" error
appears randomly on pages that contain lots of mysql_query() and
header( "location: " ).

I've solved me problem by adding a redirect file between my login page
and start page. This way it seems that my use of header("Location: yada
yada"); got some breathing room and could "catch" up and smoothly go to
my start page instead of throwing a CGI error ...
I use IIS 5, W2000 server with frames on start page and got the error
only when i used header-function above or when i refresh my page
quickly.
This is not the best solution, but could be usefull in login-situation
where i now put some text to tell the user that the login is
processing.
Redirect i used meta tag and only 1 sec delay.
Hope this might solve the problem for some of you.
