This is a "feature" to prevent use of the PHP CGI to read protected 
files on your site.

The best way to solve this would be to have tclhttpd set the environment 
variable REDIRECT_STATUS=1 after it found a .phpfile and before calling 
the PHP CGI. You could always set this globally, but then someone could 
use the CGI to read any file on the server and create a security hole.

Another option is to  build with --disable-force-cgi-redirect, which 
will remove that test, but leave the CGI hole open.

Is the source of your hacked tclhttpd available somewhere? Perhaps 
Guillaume could try to get things running.
