No.  It is using an apache adaptor as I commented out the LoadModule 
for the webobjects adaptor and it wouldn't work at all (and cgi is not 
set up in this web server).  The adapter is also the wonder one or 
alternatively my recompiled on (again, I changed the LoadModule command 
to test which one was being used).

Is my symptom correct?  Is that the error you get with the 16 limit?
