Sorry for replying to myself, but I forgot to mention that this server
is actually running inside a jail. I have no idea if that has anything
to do with it. I also have other services being started from
/usr/local/etc/rc.d (lighttpd, mysql, and a few others), but this
fastcgi script is the only one that fails to work.
