Summary: cgi.CGIHTTPRequestHandler remembers QUERY_STRING

Initial Comment:
Python 2.3+, Debian SID:

cgi.CGIHTTPRequestHandler remembers QUERY_STRING from

last query.

If query is '', then condition "if query:" fails and

env['QUERY_STRING'] is remembered from last query.

I believe the bug lies elsewhere: If we have fork, we

shouldn't set the environment variables in the parent

process, but only in the child process.
