[mod_rewrite] last character of request is stripped

           Summary: [mod_rewrite] last character of request is stripped
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.40
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_rewrite
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: info@orangexl.com

Under certain circumstances, mod_rewrite will delete the last charachter of a request, resulting in a failure to retreive the resource.

Example: I use Serveralias *.domain.nl to foward all subdomains of a virtal host. Through the .htaccess and the Rewriteengine I will distribute subdomains to subdirs. Now, the indexfile in those subdirs is index.html. My DirectoryIndex states index.html index.htm index.php index.cgi . See what happens:

(2)No such file or directory: file permissions deny server access: /usr/local/www/domain.nl/docs/directory/index.htm

A request directly to the subdir will succeed. Through subdomain.domain.nl it will produce the above error.
