OWS and OWA on Windows NT

Hello from France, Marseille (Sea, Sun and Oracle !)

I'm using ORACLE Server 7.3.2.2.1 and Oracle Web Server 1.0.2.0.0A on Window NT 4.0 (with all services pack) and i'm trying to connect à cgi program (write by myself with C language) with OWA.EXE. OWS is installed on the 9999 port and Microsoft IIS3 on the 80 port !

My cgi (call with using IIS3) start the OWA.EXE process to execute a stored procedure in my database (these procedure generate some html lines), so while OWA.EXE is running, my cgi is reading on the i/o pipe and get the text that OWA return (normally on the stdout) when OWA.EXE is terminated, the pipe are closed and my cgi stoppe reading and have got the result of the stored procedure.

At this point all seems good !

BUT if my cgi make severals calls to OWA.EXE, after the 5th or 6th call, my cgi don't get the result of owa because the i/o pipe is empty. It looks as if OWA.EXE don't put the result data on the stdout !!!

The limit number after the problem appear depend on the machine (5 or 6 on my first NT server, 30 on my second one) and this problem don't appear on my SUN Solaris server !

if someone now how to help me, the summer will be nicely for me !
