mod_cgi versus mod_cgid

I'd like to replace mod_cgi with mod_cgid in order to avoid an annoying 

bug which is in the former but not the latter.  What would be the 

drawbacks (if any) of doing this?  I noticed the following sentence in 

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mpm.html:

   For example, sites that need a great deal of scalability can choose 

to use a

   threaded MPM like |worker 

<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/worker.html>|, while sites 

requiring stability or compatibility with

   older software can use a |prefork 

<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/prefork.html>|.

Does this imply (as it seems to) that the MPM approach is not stable?  

Any other pitfalls to watch out for?  This would be on a 

single-processor (AMD64) machine.

Thanks!
