Mixed results with CGI

With this script on the server:

#!mc
on startup
   if $REQUEST_METHOD is "POST" then
    read from stdin until empty
    put it into buffer
    put "Content-Type: text/plain" & cr
    put "Content-Length:" && the length of buffer & cr & cr
    put buffer  
   end if
end startup

And this script in a local stack:

on mouseUp
  put "data=" & urlEncode( fld "s") into tData
  post tData to url "http://www.fourthworld.net/cgi-bin/t.mt"
  put it into fld "r"
end mouseUp


...sometimes I get data returned from the server as expected, other times
"it" is empty.

I'm using the latest version of libURL downloaded from runrv.com, under MC
2.4.3 build number 3.

Any clues on why it's sometimes working and sometimes not?
