ok, it seems to be failing here

codeconv.c

in nmz_codeconv_external()

I added the following lines

char *
nmz_codeconv_external (const char *str) {
     char *tmp, *lang;

fprintf(stdout,"5       1 -- @%s@\n", str);fflush(stdout);

     tmp = strdup(str);

fprintf(stdout,"5       2\n");fflush(stdout);

and here is the output  (ignore the 4    4 stuff -- that is in the  
other file in printf_headfoot() to show where it comes from)

4       4c
4       4c -- query=@chad@
5       1 -- @chad@
utah cgi-bin/Admin-List>  (this is my shell prompt)

So we see it does not get past the tmp=strdup(str); line when str =  
chad  . It seems to die in strdup as the cgi_output file ends  
abruptly and we do not get any fprintf() from after the call

However, when str=chad* it does

4       4a
4       4b
4       4c
4       4c -- query=@chad*@
5       1 -- @chad*@
5       2

So now I am wondering why strdup doesn't work with "chad" or "eric"  
but does with "paul" for example...
