Thanks, this works nicely. I'd actually tried a variation:

     <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin">
         SetHandler fastcgi-script
         Options +ExecCGI
         <Files "/var/www/cgi-bin/exceptionScript">
[Exception here: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^]
             SetHandler cgi-script
         </Files>
     </Directory>

which fails (it uses fastcgi-script even for exceptionScript), so I'd
given up on the entire idea.
