Bart,

Yikes, I see that FastCGI mode does *not* support post
mode.  If you can file a bug report against this I could
try and fix it.  However, the msIO_* stuff hasn't been used
much for reading from the stdin pipe so I might end up
only fixing this in 4.5 to avoid messing up the 4.4.x.

Best regards,
