What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. mkdir html cgi-bin
2. echo 'print "Location: http://localhost:8080/b.html\n\n"' > cgi-bin/b.pl 
3. echo '<html><body><h2>Hello World</h2></body></html>' > html/b.html
4. mongoose -r $PWD/html,/cgi-bin=$PWD/cgi-bin
5. in browser http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/b.pl

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see "Hello world " But get instead
Error 500: Internal Server Error
CGI program sent malformed HTTP headers: []

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
version 3.0 on windows XP and archlinux.

Please provide any additional information below.
I have coded this in c but do get no redirection.
While if I do
main(int c, char *v[], char *envp[]){
printf("Content-Type: text/html\n\n<html><body>");
for(i =0 ; envp[i];i++) printf("%s<br />\n",envp[i]);
printf("</body></html>");
return 0;
}

I do get all environment variables displayed!
I have tried several variations on this theme but I never end up with the 
redirection executed

You need to set Status header, too:

echo 'print "Status: 302\nLocation: http://localhost:8080/b.html\n\n"' > 
cgi-bin/b.pl 

Also, I've submitted a change that sets code 302 automatically if Location 
header is set in CGI reply:
