As a sidenote, bugzilla also jams up when doing a search for the '&' character. If you are reading this... atleast it doesn't jam up on submissions. :) >How-To-Repeat: http://www.malign.net/misc/apache-dir-bug/ >Fix: Either add an extra tab to the output when you see an '&' character in the directory name, or output in a table-format. You could also point the finger @ netscape and say it's a problem with their HTML-parsing and not you guys. :) >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
