It could be an explicit test in the program that is running. It looks like
you are running a CGI program. Is it written in Perl? Do you have access to
the source code? If so, find the source code (index.cgi?) and search for the
string 'Invalid offset:' and look at the code just before it.

That string does not turn up in 'perldoc perldiag', so might be issued by
the program explicitly, or maybe a module used by the program.
