Monks,
I have written several CGI programs to perform a variety of tasks, and every now and again this appears at the top of the page:
 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Wed, 05 May 2004 09:08:27 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) PHP/4.3.2 mod_perl/1.21 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.2b Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=99 Connection: Keep-Alive Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html  a26 ...along with sporadic alpha-numeric combinations throughout the rest of the content eg: 
<td bgcolor="#dddddd">4</td>
23 
<td bgcolor="#dddddd">Sysadmin</td>
1c 
<td bgcolor="#dddddd">3</td>
24 
<td bgcolor="#dddddd">permanent</td>
28 
<td bgcolor="#dddddd">1020343455</td>
5  
</tr>
3f

Any ideas what this could be?
It occurs about 1% of the time and of course unpredictably ie: I could load the same page 100 times and maybe I'll get this weird result. It also doesn't appear to make any difference what the content is. It could just be a simple program to produce a frameset using the CGI module. It also never occurs locally on my ibook macosx, only on webservers.
Help/ideas appreciated.
