You are are on a good track to figure out who is at fault for this
problem. However, you haven't completely reproduce a valid CGI
environment. 

Look at all the environment variable that Apache sees, and make sure
they are set for thttpd test as well.

Here's the related spec:
http://hoohoo.ncsa.uiuc.edu/cgi/env.html

To see the environment variables that Apache sees, see their
'printenv' program, or try this (untested) perl script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new();
print $q->header('text/plain');
print '<pre>';
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper(\%ENV);
print '</pre>';
