Someone (not here) suggested Apache was trying to run the script
rather than interpret it.  He suggested:  chmod -x script.

Now I got a different error about Apache couldn't run the file.  So I
looked harder at httpd.conf and found I had:

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .sh .pl .php .php3

removing the .php3 and restarting apache fixed the problem.

Running vs interpreting.  Sheesh.

Chalk this one up to brain death.
