Hi,

I have had this problem before. The timeout problem with Apache remains 
because STDOUT of both child and the parent are open. Apache keeps 
thinking the CGI is still sending data until the filehandle is closed.

I have solved it in the pas using this recipe, which is similar to the 
one you used before:

Hope that helps,
