in thread CGI, fork, long processes on Apache 2

There is a bug in Apache 2.0.x. If you have a long running CGI script you'll see an error in your CGI logs: The timeout specified has expired: ap_content_length_filter: apr_bucket_read() failed. This is why his script works properly under apache 1.3 and not 2.0.x -- because under Apache 2.0.x there comes a point where it just won't die.
