Now that is absolutely an awesome suggestion.  It is exactly the type of 
thing that I am looking for.  Unfortunately, it appears that that is not 
the problem.  I have replaced the content of the rescue block with the 
following line of code:

puts("Content-type: text/html\n\n<html><head><title>Rescue 
Test</title></head><body><p>Error</p></body></html>")

The rescue block is still not being called when a divide-by-0 error is 
introduced.  I am, however, leaving the above substitution in place 
until this issue is finally resolved just in case there is also a 
problem with the actual content of my rescue block in ADDITION to 
whatever other problem there is.

Thanks so much.  It was indeed an awesome suggestion.
