Hi Kamali, I was encountering the same problem, till one of the gurus in this forum adviced me to change to Apache. I am using Apache 1.3.24 i think and it's working fine as a fiddle with no bugs encountered so far in my cgi adventure.
U can try installing it as well, I am running it on Win 98, stable enough. And the complilation is similar to Redhat's Apache as well.
