I agree it sucks. But the same parser and evaluation is used for CGI and ISAPI, and many users have propritary (3rd party) CGI-type applications in compiled form that they CANNOT easily replace or modify.

I've seen similar reports of this bug on the CGI side of the equation.

As long as we once tollerated this carelessness, and it led to the proliferation of these borked clients, I'm afraid in the interest of alieviating the mental and physical health of puzzled administrators we should be somewhat gracious in handling these exceptions. Neither MS nor the CGI authors will suffer the ulcers from this, only our fans and users.
