You betcha -- bugs all over the place.  mod_cgi, for instance, frequently
returns without reading the body.  Things like that should be easier
to fix now that we have discard_request_body().

I think the notice on the download page also helps.  BTW, you should
commit that patch to 1.2.X -- even if we don't release it, I'd rather
have it in both trees.  Same goes for the other bugfixes.
