Well, what can I say, other than 'works for me!'. You can quite easily
cause internal server errors in Interchange by using sloppy code on a
page. Not saying you have, but just bear in mind that this is possible.

I looked at a 'more' page yesterday from a query tag, let my session
time out overnight, and looked at a different page on the same query
this morning (still had the page open in my browser). It doesn't
remember what I searched for so the page returns a custom error I put
into the page when you search for nothing ("you have searched for
nothing, please search for something"), but no Internal Server Error. So
I cant reproduce it.

Surely the Internal Server Errors have to be an issue with
configuration, or odd versions of perl?

I am using perl 5.6, with the vanilla 5.0 tarball which was available
from the icdevgroup website a few months ago.
