It could be anything.<br />
The first thing you should do is to figure out where exactly it hangs. Put some debug output and try to isolate the problem part.<br />

The most &nbsp;possible causes are:<br />
<br />
1) &nbsp;you have an infinite loop somewhere<br />
2) &nbsp;Windows NT is not that nice (CGI wise) you probably have a null pointer somewhere.<br />
<br />
Please post a copy of your cgi in order to help you out<br />

bjv, What kind of compiler are you using ? I have quite a few CGIs in C for my current project using Visual C++ with IIs 4.0. I did have a problem similiar to what you have stated. Make sure that you are using a 32bit compile and not 16 bit. Your CGI will function, but it will not terminate... If this is not the answer, how about posting some soucrce. Sounds like you are going through the same type of problems that I have had...<br />

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
