Hallo!

Thank you for the suggestions.

It starts right in the first line of the FCGI.each_cgi loop:

54 FCGI.each_cgi do |cgi|
55   $stderr.puts "TEST1: #{cgi.params.inspect}"

On first request the parameters are correct. On subsequent requests
the hash is just plain empty:

2008-05-13 15:30:23: (mod_fastcgi.c.2592) FastCGI-stderr: TEST1:
{"time"=>["jetzt"], ..., "keyword"=>["bla"]}
2008-05-13 15:30:44: (mod_fastcgi.c.2592) FastCGI-stderr: TEST1: {}

I've put that class into my dispatcher in front of the loop and
patched the loop to call fix_env(). Provided this was correct how I've
done it, it doesn't fix my problem.

It's also not dependent on the webbrowser or different vs. same params
on subsequent request. The second and further requests just have an
empty parameter hash. A lighttpd restart is required to get it working
for one time again.
