You can startup a minimal SCGI server by running scgi/scgi_server.py.
It listens on port 4000 by default and returns a plaintext dump of the
request.  Using that instead of the Quixote handler would remove some
complexity from your setup.

It seems like something is wrong with mod_scgi and Apache.  Perhaps you
have to enable access to /dynamic, something like:

     
         SCGIServer 127.0.0.1 4000
         SCGIHandler On
         order allow,deny
         allow from all
     

The default access could be restrictive.

It looks like the right way to do this is:

    #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500

Any Solaris gurus out there?
