Ok.. but from the logs, it looks like
- the web page posts the upload request
- wwsympa logs entry to the do_d_upload subroutine in wwsympa.fcgi
- at that point that fastcgi process seems to die on a syntax error
- note that other than this everything seems to be working (other 
commands process just fine)

Somehow this seems like either a bug in the do_d_upload routine, or an 
incompatible change in the fastcgi perl package

Anybody have any ideas on how to diagnose or fix this?

Thanks,
