It would be nice to see the selfscan.cgi script as well, but even
without that, the problem is most likely because you're using
something that depends on $ENV{PATH} without first sanitizing
$ENV{PATH}.

Most likely only one of the scripts is running with -T, or
setuid|setgid. [Unless there really is a difference in getcwd.al
between ppc and x86... I haven't seen it myself, though.]
