Thank you for your interest in PHP.

i want to use pspell functions in php. so i installed pspell & aspell, compiled php with "./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs --with-pspell". now the pspell functions work, but my mod_cgi not longer (i use php as apache module). if i run the apache with pspell compiled php, a call to an url /cgi-bin/test.pl gives me an internal error in the browser. the apache error log says:
[Sun Oct  6 16:19:18 2002] [error] [client 80.135.xxx.xxx] Premature end of script headers: /var/www/cgi-bin/test.pl

where test.pl just contains:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print "hello\n";

if i compile without pspell ("./configure --with-apxs=/usr/bin/apxs") the call returns "hello" as expected.
i have reproduced this bug with php 4.1.2 & 4.2.3. the apache version is 1.3.9

Is there any specific reason, you need Apache 1.3.9? It is quite old and has known vulnerabilities.
There has also been at least one API change, since then, which could very well be the problem.

Please try it with a current version of Apache.

Additionally - this bug report does not exclude the possibility that it's __any__ external module, loaded by php, that's the cause of this issue. Try some other module, that depends on an external shared lib, like gettext or iconv.

If you can do the above and still have the same problems, open it back up.
