You have two choices: Run one server per user and don't run it as root -- and be sure to remove root permissions from that proprietary software. Or, wrap all of your cgi's in a small program that does a fork/exec. Both of these are, to say the least, suboptimal solutions. But what can you expect when you're working within the constraints of the proprietary? Personally, I avoid proprietary software like the plague and I'd _never_ run proprietary software as root.
