[IronPython] problems with cgi scripts

[Count László de Almásy]

there is no error. the httpd log shows a 200 response, i just get no
data back. i've tried two different http servers as well, thttpd and
bozohttpd with the same results. if i switch the top line in the
script to point to CPython (#!/usr/bin/python) instead, it works fine.
i forgot to mention this is on Linux/Mono, in case that makes any
difference.
