The external C program, $hbplus, that keeps crashing. I wrote a seperate CGI to run it alone, and it still crashes.

Ive used both qx and system, and the only output I get from either, is a line in my httpd log that says "Bad header: Segmentation Fault"..

i've attempted to write a little xtra output into the C program (the source code is available) right at the beginning so I could being to trace the crash, but it won't even output these lines, it crashes straight away.

Does this give anyone an idea of what is going on? I even set up $hbplus in '/home/tomcat' so that when httpd runs $hbplus, it is writing the output into it's own directory, but that still doesn't work.

Does anyone know of a good CGI/'C' mailing list?

Thanks Sam
