We found some bugs in ISAPI where some content output lengths would
trash the server. Very nasty.

Hmm? I'm not running IIS, at least not in this context. I run into these
problems with ISAPI extensions designed for IIS, not the other way
around. Besides, "content output lengths" aren't where I'm having
problems. It's the input side.

Hmmm ... now that you mention it, wasn't that one of the problems MS had
with their website a few weeks back. Didn't I see that they had released
a fix for it? Are you running that fix, Alexei?
