As promised last night, I looked at this again this morning, but I'd
just like to make sure we're fixing the right problem and all the
right problems.

I have this feeling in the back of my mind that I read somewhere that
the CGI standard is to use the "\r\n" line ending, and I have snippets
in various bits of my code that seem to back this up.  Anyone know if
this is actually so?

I also realise that I'm not clear on how the problem is manifesting
itself for you.  Could you give more details please?
