You're trying to use mod_cgi with a threaded MPM (worker). According 
to mod_cgi documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_cgi.html):

"When using a multi-threaded MPM under unix, the module mod_cgid 
should be used in place of this module. At the user level, the two modules 
are essentially identical."

apache2 ports just do the job for you.
