Premature end of script headers: in case of user dir.

Hi,
sorry for the repeating the same question. I believe many have
encountered this and find a solution.

Problem is when I try to execute a CGI script from anyone of the user's
directory I'm get the error
"Premature end of script headers:". The script works just fine from the
"/var/www/cgi-bin" which is set as ScriptAliase.

In order run the script from the user's directory I have added the
following in the httpd.conf file

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
<Directory /home/*/public_html/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI
SetHandler cgi-script
</Directory>

Changed the ownership of the script to apache:apache and permission to
755

The script is

#!/bin/bash
echo Content-type: text/plain
echo ""
echo ""
/usr/bin/cal
echo ""

Can anyone help me please to run this ? I'm using "httpd-2.0.52-19.ent"
on "2.6.9-22.EL" Kernel.

Thanks
Baruah
