[PHP-INSTALL] PHP4 as a CGI

Debian testing system with a recent update to php-cgi 4.3.4.

I have been using the /usr/bin/php4 binary as a some.cgi with
a shbang line of "#!/usr/bin/php4" which worked fine up until
this recent 4.3.4 update. Now the new 4.3.4 php4 binary does
not produce a "Content-type: index/html\n\n" header nor does
it receive any GPC (GET POST etc) variables at all. I've been
throught the new php.ini and I cannot see any parameters or
advice as to what may have changed.

Could anyone advise me how to re-enable receiving incoming
variables for a /usr/bin/php4 binary used as a CGI please ?
