Hello Maarten Hoolboom
The specific "CGI DATA LOSS" problem resolved was 'only' seen with
the Open Market Web Server (as was reported by others on this list)
and the fix was made in the Open Market Web Server code, not in posix.
If you are seeing a "CGI DATA LOSS" problem on a web server other
than the Open Market Web Server, I would speculate it is a new
problem and it may need to be pursued with your friends at the HP-
Response Center as a posix problem (Sorry, I do not claim to be a
posix expert)... If you are seeing a problem with the Open Market
Web Server, we do have the patch I mentioned before available, it
is not currently available on any power patch, so it must be ordered
from the HP-RC.
Hope this helps.

: Your help will be greately appreciated!
