Fw: URLSCAN - Error 50. Ideas?

Hi,
I'm running urlscan on IIS5.0. Below are configuration
options. Periodically it's starting to write such
messages into urlscan.log

[04-12-2002 - 08:04:22] Client at 111.222.333.444:
Received a malformed request which resulted in
error 50 while modifying the 'Server' header. Request
will be rejected with a 400 response.

and repeat them for each new request.
After this IIS is not responsive until w3svc stop/start.

Look like a simple denial of service.
Anybody had something like this? Any ideas?

Regards
Alexander

; If RemoveServerHeader is 0, then
AlternateServerName can be

AlternateServerName=NONONO
