Nope. Looks like you did right except for one thing. I would compare
modes on the cgi-bin executables. I bet you don't have the new one
in setuid mode. You should copy with

	cp -a cgi-bin/old_catalog cgi-bin/new_catalog

on Linux. Or you could just do:

	chown interch cgi-bin/new_catalog
	chmod u+s cgi-bin/new_catalog

where interch is the username that IC runs as.
