[mod_python] Solution (bug): cgihandler repeats the whole response for each print command

Found the cause, the problem is in "apache.py" (installed as
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py on my system).

Line # 693 says (in function write() of CGIStdout:

        if not self.headers_sent:

But in the code, it NEVER sets 'self.headers_sent' to "1", thus it will never
execute the "else" part of this if.

To fix it, I inserted the following at line # 724 (the last two lines were
already there):

                ## BUG FIX: Send out duplicates....
                self.headers_sent = 1
                # write the body if any at this point
                self.req.write(ss[1])
