Just to follow this up, the problem has absolutely nothing to do with
Python. It appears to be related to processing .htaccess files (SetEnv
directives are the current suspects, but I'm not going to spend too much
time tracking it down is it's already a fixed problem).

I looked at upgrading the Apache installation, but I can't do it just by
recompiling from source: there are too many incompatible modules. Guess I'll
take a look on wwww.redhat.com for updated RPMs.

Thanks to all who replied.
