Thanks Daniel.  It appears I made something simple, complicated.

Ultimately the solution was:

1. setting:

'Options -Includes -ExecCGI' whereas prior to this options were  'Options
-Includes +ExecCGI' 

2. removing the ScriptAlias from the <virtualhost>  context.

'http://maps.domain.com/cgi-bin/mapserv' now returns 'No query information
to decode. QUERY_STRING is set, but empty. ' as expected.

I include various unsuccessful attempts in the event it is helpful to
someone in the future.

#########

I entered the pass env directive into httpd.conf:

PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Apache gave the following warning and the internal server error was still
returned.

'Starting httpd: [Tue Sep 22 15:46:08 2009] [warn] PassEnv variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH was undefined'

I tried entering the pass env directive:
1. after the SetEnv directive :
SetEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib"
PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

2. without using the SetEnv directive
PassEnv LD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. in Context server config, virtual host, and directory in the above two
combinations

Thanks to all,
