CGIDEV2 strange happenings

We have about 50 RPG CGI programs.  Occasionally an RPG program will blow up
and the next user to hit the server gets HTML from the program in error
rather than what they expected.  This can be bad because they may be using a
billing application for example, click a link to see a balance, and instead
get a screen showing the VPs salary.

We don't fully understand the technicalities of how RPG programs are
"called" via the HTTP server but we suspect that when a program blows up,
it's memory isn't initialized within the instance it was running in, and the
next incoming request on that instance returns the bogus HTML.

Any ideas?
