Am I the only one that sees the irony that Apache seg faults from an
attack aimed at Msoft?!
I mentioned that too to the original poster, but they didn't seem that
concerned since Apache respawns itself. I thought if it can be crashed by
cramming too much info into a buffer before it's truncated, that's
considered a buffer overflow. I'm no programmer and may be off base here
but it just struck me as odd also. You're not alone Mike. :)
