Thomas,

Yes, I thought perhaps I had done this - I started out with plain CGI and then
converted the code to SCGI at which point the behaviour changed quite
markedly and I had to remove assumptions the the code was running afresh (and
clean) with each call. Thanks for you suggestion, I will again look at what I
am doing (perhaps there are some dark corners of the code that I have
neglected to change).
