I mentioned that too to the original poster, but they didn't seem that 
concerned since Apache respawns itself. I thought if it can be crashed by 
cramming too much info into a buffer before it's truncated, that's 
considered a buffer overflow. I'm no programmer and may be off base here 
but it just struck me as odd also. You're not alone Mike. :)
