[rt-users] RT 3.6.4 problems

I am running RT 3.6.3 on two systems:  An older Linux system using Apache 2
and Apache's mod_fastcgi module and an FC6 system with Apache 2 and
mod_fcgid (an alternative to the Apache mod_fastcgi module).  Both
installations work just fine.

Prior to installing 4.6.4, I upgraded the few Perl modules on each system
that needed it.  My RT upgrade process simply consists of  installing RT
from scratch then creating softlinks to the new installation - this way I
don't write over the working, older installation directory.

However, after switching over to 3.6.4 and restarting Apache, I get '500
internal server failure' errors on both machines.  On the older system with
Apache's fast cgi module, I get:

[Wed Jul 11 20:55:58 2007] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] FastCGI: comm
with server "/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi" aborted: idle timeout (360
sec)

incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server
"/opt/rt3/bin/mason_handler.fcgi"

On the FC6 system with the alternative mod_fcgid module, I get:
