I have the stripped mod_example.c available, so if I can get my hands on your FastCGI C code, I may copy the relavant parts to the apache module. Is it availably in the SVN?

no, it's not in SVN yet. It's saved locally on the t at h server and as SSH is *still* non-functional and the server has *still* not been rebooted, I don't have access to it now. *grumble*. As soon as I have access I will commit to SVN.

I would love to make more changes to keep the server running stable, but as things stand right now, I can't do or change anything.
