Hello, I'm not sure what to make of this.  scsh segfaults if I ask the
SUnet web server for particularly-named files.


Here's the output from the server:

  # ./start-web-server -h /var/www -c /var/www/cgi-bin -p 8000 -l 
/var/log/httpd.log
  Loading...
  reading options: ("-h" "/var/www" "-c" "/var/www/cgi-bin" "-p" "8000" "-l" 
"/var/log/httpd.log")
  Going to run Webserver with:
   htdocs-dir:    /var/www
   cgi-bin-dir:   /var/www/cgi-bin
   port:          8000
   log-file-name: /var/log/httpd.log
   syslogging activated.
  zsh: segmentation fault  ./start-web-server-via-image -h /var/www -c 
/var/www/cgi-bin -p 8000 -l 


Here's the request:

  $ wget 'http://localhost:8000/1 Last Show'
  --02:24:04--  http://localhost:8000/1%20Last%20Show
             => `1%20Last%20Show'
  Resolving localhost... done.
  Connecting to localhost[127.0.0.1]:8000... connected.
  HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 
  Read error (Connection reset by peer) in headers.
  Retrying.

  --02:24:05--  http://localhost:8000/1%20Last%20Show
    (try: 2) => `1%20Last%20Show'
  Connecting to localhost[127.0.0.1]:8000... failed: Connection refused.


Some other names have the same effect, such as "1 La s" or "z lla S".
I'm not seeing any output in /var/log/messages or httpd.log for the
requests that cause scsh to crash.

I'm using scsh 0.6.4 and SUnet 2.0 (with minor changes which shouldn't
have made any difference here).
