album as cgi - it loops!

[Paul Klenk]

http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/tools/cgi/run_setuid_album
and
http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/tools/cgi/setuid_album
both loop on my system and do not work as CGI.
the error.log is full of lines like that:

Invocation as cron-job works. Where is my mistake?

[album author - David Ljung Madison]

That's a strange message - I do not think it's coming from album (or the rather simple CGI scripts).  These are errors you're seeing in the httpd log, I presume?  Do other CGI scripts work?
