Can anyone identify this http exploit? Seen in the apache logs:

foo.bar.com
 - - [30/May/2004:02:45:28 -0400] "SEARCH /\x90\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\
x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb

xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1\x02\xb1

etc - and it goes on for about 1200 bytes.

Been getting an annoying number of these in my httpd logs today - it botches up my log analyser program.
