>Description:
I am getting the following error upon startup when I try to add
a <Files> directive to my HTTPD.CONF under 1.3.1 Apache for Win32

[Thu Aug 27 10:11:14 1998] file .\os\win32\util_win32.c, line 66, assertion "s >
= szFile && "this is a known bug"" failed
>How-To-Repeat:
Add anything that is a files directive to httpd.conf

eg I first tried this with mod_perl for Win32:

<Files *.perl>
   SetHandler perl-script
   PerlHandler Apache::Registry
   PerlSendHeader On
   Options +ExecCGI
</Files>

This is not just a mod_perl issue though-- it also does not work when 
I disable mod_perl and try other <Files *.perl> directives.
