Strongly in favor of #3. My own test data indicates that the "consequential error-rate" is even lower than the 0.1% Mark mentions, because some of the affected fields can be ignored without changing the semantics of the transaction. Further, the number also seems elevated by parsing-failures in requests from clearly inexpertly implemented bots. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 phk@FreeBSD.ORG | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
