Actually it is more subtle. Even during execution, apache starts the timer during start of header, and start of body. So a malicious script could potentially give data in trickles to restart these timers, but my point was that apache definetly takes care of runaway cgi scripts even in execution (as long as it doesn't trick the server as mentioned above). BTW I did not have any issues - I was just responding to the original comment that apache does not handle runaway scripts which is not true.

Ah, that's different - your timeout is occurring trying to read your CGI script - it is not getting to execution. I've never had this problem, so I cannot help you Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
