This bug is especially bad since each time that wordpress crashes with the cgi error, it leaves the db connection open and it doesn’t take long before the website hits the mysql connection limit and everything stops working.

I have a wordpress 2.3.3 install running on IIS. When I enable permalinks with dates and article names, then page, tags, and categories give the CGI error. If I choose the permalink option /index.php/archives/%post_id%, then all pages give the CGI error. The above fix seems to fix the problem when you get a CGI error during installation, but it has no effect on already working installs that fail when the permalink options are changed.
