That sounds like it may be a problem with the scoping of the variables
you load data into from CGI rather than CGI itself.  Hard to say until
you get a way to reproduce it.

If you can write a test to determine if this is happening, you can log
the process ID and then use that to look back through your access_log
(if you log process ID there) and see what the sequence was that broke
the process.  Try to write a test that runs at some point in the
request and checks the URL against the values you see from CGI.pm.
