Eeeh, I have to make my apologise. Alex has right. I made also a
fresh-install on another computer and had VBS *not* included.
And a colleage helped me to answer the question why at my pc this
extension was included: he knew that about half a year ago this problem
was somewhere mentioned (it was not on bugtraq, but we cannot find the
message to look when and where it was announced). At that time including
vbs was one of the solutions, and we followed this suggestion.
I was a little bit to fast with my email when I saw that I had vbs
included.

Sorry,
