Error: Illegal or empty (text)

[scott at ruralnetwork.net]

I'm encountering the same issues - intermittently - with the Postgresql 7.4, 
Apache 1.3.29, and Perl 5.8.3 that come with the installion of Mandrkake 10, 
while trying various versions of the CGI module - and with Apache::ASP. 

I'd be curious to know which versions of Postgresql and Perl you are running 
 - and whether or not your Perl is compiled with threading support enabled.  
I'm going to try re-compiling my Perl with threading support disabled and 
see if that solves the problem.
