Having exhausted my abilities trying to determine how to fix this error, i
am hoping that someone else might have some insight on what causes the
following:

In my apache web server logs, i get the following message occasionally when
trying to figure out why my perl cgi scripts are not working:

/usr/local/clients/test/web/cgi-bin/aecdb/webgen/aecwpgen.pl: text busy


My current hypothesis is that there is some odd file locking vgoing on... my
reasoning is that this script is edited on a win95 box connected to the
freebsd 2.2.8-stable box via samba. The script has been closed in the
editing application (home site). When i log into the unix box and copy the
script to another filename, delete the original, and then mv the file back
to it's original name and location and try to execute it again via apache,
it works. However, if i execute it from the command line, it works whether i
go through the copy procedure or not.

Does anyone have any ideas?
