Interesting, I hadn't considered timeout error causing that message.

Have you checked out the TimeOut directive[1]? I've seen some people
comment the TimeOut does not affect CGI scripts, but Apache security
tips[2] say the following:

 "As TimeOut is currently used for several different operations, setting
 it to a low value introduces problems with long running CGI scripts."

I've seen others suggest using FastCGI. Keep us posted on your progress.


Good luck,
William
