At the risk of suggesting something you already know, perhaps the version of 
php you compiled is broken with regard to stronghold?  Maybe you can try a 
previous release, but later than your old version that works?

A good way to diagnose the problem is to snoop your network interface on your 
webserver.    You can use Ethereal (www.ethereal.com).  You can set it to 
only record traffic from the IP of your client (web browser).  Then you can 
use the GUI to help you look at the TCP/IP packets.  Ethereal 'knows' many 
protocols, like HTTP (layer 7 in the TCP/IP stack).  This may reveal some 
other problem, perhaps unrelated to php.

I recently used it to solve a problem we found in some of our NSAPI shared 
object libraries (essential the iPlanet equivalent of an Apache module).  It 
turns out that the data portion of HTTP POST was being split into two TCP/IP 
packets by any proxy server.  The NSAPI objects were not forwarding the 
second packet to the CGI.
