Runtime Error: Couldn't Fork: Permission Denied

[Steve Cockwell <stevec@sierra.lazarus.ca>]

Please help.  I've been beating my brain over this one for a solid 15
hours now and am no further along than I was this morning (er, yesterday
morning).

- I get the above subject in my /home/mvend/catalogs/bletch/error.log
file.
- In my apache error_log file I get "Premature end of script headers:
/home/apache/cgi-bin/bletch"
- If I turn on debugging (per the instruction in the documentation) I
get an error in a perl library (syntax error) and minivend won't even
start.
- As per a previous message (about Perl RPMs) by MikeH I dloaded the
latest.tar.gz perl source and compiled it as per his instructions.  I
also got every CPAN mod in Bundle::Minivend
- The error occurs after I have clicked on the "Place Order" button in
the checkout.html file.
- I've check the permissions on everything including in
/home/apache/htdocs/bletch and /home/apache/cgi-bin and
/home/mvend/catalogs/bletch/*
- I've have both stripped the checkout.html down to practically nothing
to simply using the simple demo checkout.html file without success
- I've got mod_ssl (latest) and apache (latest) and ssleay (latest).
- I've tried turning off all security (including SecureURL in
minivend.cfg and in the form itself.
- I know a LOT more about minivend than I did 15 hours ago.  But not
enough apparently...
- I've searched the archives on Minivend.com, dejanews back several
years, and my own archives of minivend-users and can find only one other
person who has asked this question before (but never got a response).
- I've reproduced this problem on two completely seperate servers

I've attached my checkout.html file.

There is no shipping info, because it's sofware and services only.

Thanks - I'm going to bed now...
