in src/client_side.c, change
    http->log_uri = xstrdup(urlCanonicalClean(request));
to
    http->log_uri = xstrdup(urlCanonical(request));

You may also want to do the same in errorpage.c.

Also, if you want the results of your scripts to be cached, then
consider using PATH_INFO instead of QUERY_STRING if possible (that is
generated links, not user input forms). Most caches (including browser
caches) consider URLs with ? in them as uncacheable.
