Are you running mod_deflate as well? There's a known bug in mod_fastcgi that 
causes exactly this kind of problem if mod_deflate is in front of it. It can 
be solved by disabling mod_deflate or ensuring that it won't process any 
content that mod_fastcgi serves, or by building and installing mod_fastcgi-
