We also saw the same error on our servers (Apache 1.1.3, Perl 5.002, HPUX 
9, FastCGI compiled into perl and mod_fastcgi v1.4.3).  I had to write a 
script that monitored the error logs and kicked the server automagically 
when it happened.  However, I have now moved FastCGI to a new server 
runnign Apache 1.2.1, Perl 5.004_01, and HPUX 9, FCGI-.30 w/ sfio, 
mod_fastcgi v.1.4.3)  I have yet to see the problem.

The one thing different (besides using sfio) is I applied the memory leak 
patch posted on the listserv earlier (see below)  

Don't know if this was the prob (too soon to tell) but I do know my 
processes on the old server were growing each day and now they have 
stabilized, but its too soon to tell.

FcgiCleanUp doesn't free the  TString structures (DStringFree frees
the contents, but not the structure)

so after the
	DStringFree(infoPtr->header)
	DStringFree(infoPtr->errorOut)

you need to add
        Free( infoPtr->header );
        Free( infoPtr->errorOut );
