You often get this error when you point your browser to a non-existing
.php page on a system running PHP as a cGI.  The server should return an
error 404 (not found) but the PHP CGI seems to have a bug
(http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13035) and returns nothing in this case,
which explains the error 500 that Apache returns.

Try setting "log_errors = On" in your php.ini and you should (hopefully)
get a more meaningfuil error messaqge in your apache error_log that will
help figure the source of the problem.
