You should have a directory called "src" under your Interchange
installation directory.  In that directory, there are a couple of
Perl scripts called tlink.pl (INET) and vlink.pl (UNIX).  You may
add a logging/debug facility to one of these scripts and use it
to replace your current cgi-bin executable while investigating the
problems you have.

I've don't recognise the problem you are seeing, so if you track it
down, please send a report to this mail list.

You could check your site's "logs/usertrack" file for strange
activity, and could check your ordinary web logs.

Good luck.
