Problem importing in a cgi script

[Justin Shaw]

I printed out the tb info to help troubleshoot:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "gnuplot_cgi.py", line 4, in ?
  import cgi
...
...
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/socket.py", line 41, in ?
  from _socket import *
Import Error: ld.so.1: /usr/local/bin/python: fatal: libgcc_s.so.1: open
failed:

I was able to work around the issue by changing the CGIHTTPServer.py so that
it routes through the

elif self.have_popen2:
  ...                                          # branch bypassing the
if self.have_fork:
  ...

branch of CGIHTTPRequestHandler.run_cgi()

I still would like to track down the cause.  If you can shed any light I'd
appreciate it.

Thanks.
Justin
