It was recently discovered that a security patch introduces with Drupal 5.2, in combination with a PHP bug, can break sites running under fastcgi. See http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19656 for details about the PHP bug. The issue can easily be worked around by manually setting $base_url in the settings.php

This patch provides guidance on this issue for users installing and upgrading Drupal.

This needs to be fixed here first: http://drupal.org/node/163010

after which it could be backported. The patch won't be reviewed in it's own right for 5.x until it's gone into 6 though.

This can probably be fixed using the same patch at http://drupal.org/node/194331
