Has anyone seen this error when running a CGI program using Apache:

Bad RequestStarting the CGI program failed. Could not communicate with the
CGI program.

It is happening on a program that's worked great forever. I can't find any
details in the logs or in the job log. I can recompile the program and it
seems to work once, then quits working again.

The return code is a 400 from the server.

The error log seems to spit this out:
ZSRV_MSG0818: Error reading request entity data, referer: xxxxxxx

The access log just reports a 400 on the request.

I can see the HTTP job ending but no job log is created.
