Just a quick progress update...

It seems it wasn't the fcl-web HTTP Server or CGI clients at fault, 
but rather an Embedded Firebird shared access problem on Windows Vista 
and later. The webserver app established a DB connection, and then 
later the CGI apps try and establish a DB connection too, but due to 
file locking the CGI apps are prevented from getting that connection. 
The web browser then just sits there "loading...."

As Michael pointed out to me, as of Embedded Firebird 2.5, shared 
access should be allowed. I am using 2.5.2 and it seems on my test 
systems, shared access is still not allowed. I'll google shared access 
some more, and if I don't find anything, simply modify the webserver 
application to only establish a DB connection when absolutely 
necessary, and only for a short duration.
