Something very strange is going on.  I would suggest some low-level
debugging.  As root:

    tcpdump -i lo -s 1500 -w  port 3001

Try loading a page again.  Interrupt the tcpdump process and run (as
a normal user):

    ethereal -r 

Select the TCP packet with SYN flag set and use the "follow TCP
stream" command to find out what is being sent to the SCGI server.
It seems like mod_scgi is violating the protocol.  That's weird and
something else must be going on.

Not that I know of.
