Using Bugzilla 2.10, adding a new quip fails. Appending the following line to new_comment.cgi seems to fix the problem: print "\n"; This may be related to a recent change to new_comment.cgi in which whitespace is stripped from the end of CGI parameter values.

I am unable to reproduce your problem using new_comment.cgi v1.4 (most up-to-date version, available in 2.10). If you are still having problems, please try running that .cgi from the command line to get an error message, or get a dump from your web server log so I can see what's going on.

The web server log at the time the problem occured contained: [Wed May 17 10:54:35 2000] [error] (2)No such file or directory: exec of /home/httpd/html/bugs/new_comment.cgi failed [Wed May 17 10:54:35 2000] [error] [client 192.168.2.132] Premature end of script headers: /home/httpd/html/bugs/new_comment.cgi When I saw the "premature end" error, I tried appending print "\n"; to the scrip (I admit, a complete stab in the dark - based on some vague hunches about buffers not being flushed) which seemd to fix the problem. Our web server is apache-1.3.9-8 I was unable to verify that we're using new_comment.cgi v1.4, but we upgraded to 2.10 less than a week ago.

moving all closed Bugzilla bugs to the new Bugzilla product. This batch is DUPLICATE/INVALID/WORKSFORME/WONTFIX reassigning to default owner and QA in case of the bug being reopened. Clearing milestones, since we really shouldn't have them on these types of resolutions. Sorry for the spam everyone...
