cgi scripts fail to run from userdir with "End of script output before headers" errors

[Lonni J Friedman]

Wow, thanks James for going through this much effort.  I applied the
changes that you listed for userdir.conf, but I'm still getting the
same error as originally.  At this point, I have no clue wtf is going
on here.  It should work, but the error is so useless that I can't
debug this effectively.
