Re: Problem with CGI::Fast process

If your script crashes too many times in a row, Apache will stop forking it so 
it doesn't bog the server down.  You can control this behavior with one of the 
FastCGI directives, I believe.

Better - don't make edits on your production scripts, work in a dev environment 
and only copy things over once you get everything debugged.
