Problem with 404 Pages

    Hey guys!

    I am experiencing an unusual problem on a shared hosting package from FastHosts with my WordPress installation.

    WordPress 404 pages are not being shown, instead the web browser fails to display the page. Google Chrome shows the error Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error. FireFox shows a blank white page with no error readout, IE shows an error message.

    I have never had this problem before. In an attempt to track the source of the error I created the following test page which reproduces exactly the same problem. It is to do with the header function call. Removing that call fixes the error (but returns Status: 200 OK which is obviously wrong).

    <?php

if (substr(php_sapi_name(), 0, 3) == 'cgi')
	header("Status: 404 Not Found");
else
	header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");

?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>My 404!!</title>
</head>
<body>
	<h1>My 404!!!</h1><!-- PADDING TO REACH MINIMUM RESPONSE SIZE

																					 -->
</body>
</html>

    Does anybody know why this is causing a problem for me?

    Best regards,
