It's very reproducible and occurs when there is no other server activity. I have built and tested a small CGI script to dump pages of vertical lines. Then I use another Perl script (run locally or from another machine) to pull the page and run an MD5 hash against the contents to catch the bug.
The test page is at http://www.sygration.com/cgi-bin/bigcgi #!/usr/bin/perl $|=1 ; use strict ; print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; print "<html><body><h1>Big CGI !</h1>\n" ; for(my $i=1; $i<=400; $i++) { print "| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |\n" ; } print "<h2>Done</h2></body></html>\n" ; I haven't included it, but the Perl script to pull this page and run MD5 is available at http://www.sygration.com/pagehammer.pl To hit the webpage 30 times and dump the MD5 each time, use: ./pagehammper.pl http://www.sygration.com/cgi-bin/bigcgi 30 Thanks, Tom --- Stas Bekman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The first step is to be able to reproduce the > problem.
