There was a problem with Jserv1.1 in which that exception was thrown but 
not caught which caused the jvm to freeze up or die (I don't remember 
offhand which). I checked in some code that caught the exception and 
returned null for the query-string rather than kill the java instance. 
Since the percent sign normally has a special meaning, they usually 
shouldn't appear in the query-string unless it is followed by two hex 
digits, but it still shouldn't crash things when a bad query-string is there.

This fix was made a few weeks ago so a fresh checkout should include the patch.
