Darn! Sorry, I'm mistaken. The runrev.com cgi engine prints debugging 
information to STDERR. Messages like "external startup". I mistakenly 
assumed that those STDERR messages would cause a 500 server error. 
However that's not true, at least on Apache. On Apache they just get 
sent to the error_log, so one will just see logs of entries like this 
in the error log:

external startup
external exit
external startup
external exit

  Björnke, here is my test script which works OK. Note that TWO crlf are 
required per the http spec. You only have one crlf after the content 
type.

#!/usr/local/bin/revolution
on startup
  put "Content-type: text/plain" & crlf & crlf
  put "hello world"
end startup
