Maybe compiling the program with RSXNTDJ would help here?  If
you want, John, I can throw together a very simple RSXNTDJ
program that copies its stdin to its stdout, and send it to you
in binary format for testing (saves you the trouble of
downloading all of RSXNTDJ, in case it's not going to work...).

Of course, let me know if copying stdin to stdout isn't a
sensible way to test this; I don't know a lot about CGI
programming.
