[Damnit, ran into a bug in the gnats CGI, I supplied this reason
when I changed the category, it lost it.]

The real bug is that the user is using mod_rewrite to do virtual
hosting, and mod_rewrite doesn't construct %{REQUEST_URI} the
same way as mod_cgi.  When the request is an absolute URI
the http://host/ part is missing from %{REQUEST_URI}.
