Internal server error when running commands (cmd.cgi)

It appears that the cgi's segfault when I POST to them. I can run them
from a shell everything works fine as long as I GET or HEAD but when I
POST, it dies. Likewise through the browser. If I use any form in nagios
to POST to any nagios CGI, I get the error. If I send the same params
via a GET:
"https://127.0.0.1/nagios/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=55&cmd_mod=2&host=ns.visi.com&com_author=Steve%20Neuharth&start_time=09/27/2002%2021:41:53&end_time=09/27/2002%2023:41:53&hours=2&minutes=0&fixed=1"
, the scripts run fine, no segfault.
