I saw the following in /var/log/apache/ucimc-error.log:
	[error] Options ExecCGI is off in this directory:
		/var/www/urbana/library/archsearch.cgi

I added the following lines to /etc/apache/httpd.conf in the
www.ucimc.org virtual host:
	<Directory /var/www/urbana/library>
	    AllowOverride None
	    Options ExecCGI
	</Directory>

Restarting Apache seems to have fixed the problem.

Cheers,
Dan
