I just upgraded to v4.2 on a Solaris server.  I am using the built- in Apache (with Solaris 8).

When I try to access any of the Hobbit man pages that refer to a  CGI (and are named <something>.cgi.<n>.html) I get an "Access  Forbidden" error.  I looked in the Apache error log and saw this:

Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /opt2/hobbit/server/www/ help/manpages/man1/hobbitsvc.cgi.1.html

So Apache is getting confused by the file name?  I've tried a few  things to try to convince Apache that this is a text file and not a  CGI, but to no avail.  Anyone else ever run into this and have a  solution?  One obvious thing to try would be to add ExecCGI to  these directories, but that doesn't feel right to me...
Change AddHandler cgi-script .cgi  to AddHandler cgi-script .cgi$
