While I have no idea as to the cause of this problem, I do have a request:
Is there any chance you could post the CGI someplace? I could use it quite
nicely, and think it would make a decent addition to a code library (even if
all I can ever use it for is reference on how to generate a PDF file).

The only idea I have for your problem sounds like it's already been done: Have
the CGI generate the pdf file, and save it, then see what happens when the
saved pdf gets served.

Here's a possible idea, though: Have your CGI generate a static pdf file into
a specific directory. Then, once done, the CGI will send a redirect to the
client, redirecting to the static pdf file. It might work.
