[Xitami] PHP and CGI error on Windows98 SE

[xitami@lists.xitami.org]

  As I said before Iīm having this kind of problems with xitami and perl cgi-
bin. I investigate a lot this kind of problem, and it happens not just with 
perl but also with php. The problem is not with xitami also. 
  The conclusion that I got is that the problem is with windows, more 
specifically in the user.exe program. There is a bug in this module related 
with dos prompt windows. They are not open during the execution of a cgi-bin, 
but in some way windows get lost with it. I donīt have a solution but a good 
point to start is searching about user.exe problems. By the way winoldap 
executes user.exe.
  I am afraid that there is no solution for this problem. 

  Bye,

    Gustavo
