According to that Apache is sending all the right data, it just ain't getting there. I've also upgraded libc6 recently (Debian system FWIW with packages libc6_2.1.3-[567]_i386.deb (notice regex range)). I downgraded libc6 to the package versions (5 and 6) that were installed when it did work to no effect. I also rebuilt the Mailman C based CGI programs under the installed version of libc6, and copied them over (in case something odd was going on) to no observed effect.

I changed cgi-wrapper.c to read:

#include <stdio.h> #include "common.h"

/* passed in by configure */ #define SCRIPTNAME SCRIPT #define LOG_IDENT "Mailman cgi-wrapper (" ## SCRIPT ## ")"

/* GID that CGI scripts run as. See your Web server's documentation. */ #define LEGAL_PARENT_GID CGI_GID

const char* logident = LOG_IDENT; char* script = SCRIPTNAME; const int parentgid = LEGAL_PARENT_GID;

int main(int argc, char** argv, char** env) { int status; char* fake_argv[3]; char ac[31]; /* !!!!!!!!!!!edited!!!!!!!!!!!!! */ memset (ac, 0, 31); /* !!!!!!!!!!!edited!!!!!!!!!!!!! */

    running_as_cgi = 1;
    if (getgid()>=100 && getgid()!=65534) check_caller(logident, parentgid)$

    /* for these CGI programs, we can ignore argc and argv since they
     * don't contain anything useful.  `script' will always be the driver
     * program and argv will always just contain the name of the real
     * script for the driver to import and execute (padded with two dummy
     * values in argv[0] and argv[1] that are ignored by run_script().
     */
    fake_argv[0] = NULL;
    fake_argv[1] = NULL;
    fake_argv[2] = script;

fread (ac, 1, 30, stdin); /* !!!!!!!!!!!!edited!!!!!!!!!!!! */ fprintf (stderr, "---[%s]---",ac); /* !!!!!!!!!!!!edited!!!!!!!!!!!! */ status = run_script("driver", 3, fake_argv, env); fatal(logident, status, "%s", strerror(errno)); return status; }

The ~mailman/cgi-bin/admin is not getting anything on stdin. Not good.
