Basically, the code outputs (via three capture tags) about 430 pages. If I
comment one capture tag out (any one, it does not matter) everything runs
fine. If all three run, my browser returns a 500 error, and I get this in
the apache log:

[Mon Jun 25 16:28:20 2007] [error] [client 66.214.151.29] malformed header
from script. Bad header=PAGE=se1/nav_frame&VIEWPAGE=se:
/www/imagemogul.com/httpdocs/im/se1
[Mon Jun 25 16:28:20 2007] [error] [client 66.214.151.29] Malformed header
returned by Interchange:
PAGE=se1/nav_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/view_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/frame_def&VIEWPAGE=
se1/nav_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/view_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/frame_def&VIEWPAGE=se1/n
av_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/view_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/frame_def&VIEWPAGE=se1/nav_fr
ame&VIEWPAGE=se1/view_frame&VIEWPAGE=se1/frame_def&VIEWPAGE=se1/nav_frame

.....	[snip about 2/3 repeated]    ..........


Since it does not matter which capture page I comment out, I suspect it is
an issue with creating too many files. Commenting any one capture out
creates 288 files, leaving all in creates 432 pages. All 432 pages only
total 1.1MB.

Even with the 500 error, all files get created fine (I believe). I just
felt I should try to fix the 500 error incase things really are not fine
somewhere.

Lastly, I suppose I am using the capture tag incorrectly by trying to
instantly produce an entire website, however is it necessary for the
capture tags to produce output to the page? Obviously, the file=""
parameter is *making* a file for me, but using the capture tag also returns
the created page to my browser - so in my particular circumstance, I am
getting a page with 432 pages on it - doh!

I am using the hide=1 paramter but does not help.
