Great. BTW, I recently reported to NCSA that they don't check the number of
aliases and if the number overflows the default (20 total Aliases and
ScriptAliases) they overwrite memory randomly. Do you know if that is fixed
in Apache?

Right, and certainly would if I could. Apache soulds like an excellent
solution, but it does require getting our site providers to switch to it.

I don't see the distinction there.

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
