CGI config (outside of script-alias) on Apache 1.3.27

Hello,

Recently I tried to set up a script in a directory not specifically script-aliased (but with +ExecCGI set). It kept throwing Server Errors. Further investigation yielded the almost useless "Premature End of Script Headers."

I figured it was one of three things: the infamous ^m carriage return, wrong perms, or that the script was truly writing to STDOUT before writing headers. I ruled out all of these by testing a script that came with my Apache install (printenv). It had the same problem.

Here is some info that might help:

--------
> ls -alF
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 2 paul paul 512 Jun 12 19:27 ./
drwxr-xr-x 5 paul paul 512 Jun 12 19:27 ../
-rwxr-xr-x 1 paul paul 268 Jun 12 19:25 printenv.cgi*
--------

The config:

<Directory /home/*/htpublic/cgi-bin>
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>


I am completely stumped... Any ideas?

I have tried commenting all different parts of that directory config to no avail. Removing the wildcard and putting in the real directory does nothing.
