Frankly, I don't see what the hubub is about. This is a standard feature of sh, and has been since system 7, and possibly earlier. Do we need a discussion of the ways in which the '^' character has changed in appearance over the years too? The only CGIs which can be nailed by stuff like this are ones which invoke a shell, which you shouldn't be doing in the first place. If you need to call some other program, fork and exec; don't use system. Aleph1, please kill this thread.
