You should be aware that there are several ways for a web server to
contact a FCGI script.  According to what you say, you are expecting
the web server to start (then and contact the script on stdin), in
which case you have to comment out the "sockaddr" argument (see
netcgi_fcgi.mli).  The counter_fcgi.ml example, as it prints on
stdout, expects to be started manually and be contacted by the web
server on port 1200.  Please see the FCGI doc about how to do that.
http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html 

If you believe that the examples should tell more about how FCGI
connectors work, feel free to write some comment to put at the
beginning of the files and send it to me.

Best,
