I haven't followed the whole thread, just seen this piece.  But,
whenever I have seen that error message (and it has been many times)
I discovered that the blank line ending the header in the page I
am trying to write back out is missing.   It has to have a completely
empty line - not even any white space characters on it.

Sometimes it got that way because some part of my cgi code failed and
sometimes it was because I just forgot to include the double newline (\n\n)
in my print statement.

I won't guarantee that is it, but is something to check.
