Posting variables in URL's

I installed Amaya 4.0, and it looks fine. But here's a problem I have with
certain URL's:

http://linguistik.phil.uni-passau.de/papers/index.phtml?DIR=./Subjects/../

(don't try it as you probably don't have access to this webserver).

When I try to load this URL with Amaya, Amaya shows a blank screen. When I then
press the Reload button, Amaya simplifies the URL to

http://linguistik.phil.uni-passau.de/papers/index.phtml?DIR=./

and displays the page correctly.

Nescape already simplifies the URL in the href, i.e. a link

<a href="http://linguistik.phil.uni-passau.de/papers/index.phtml?DIR=./Subjects/../">

is displayed as

http://linguistik.phil.uni-passau.de/papers/index.phtml?DIR=./

Lynx does not simplify the URL but displays the page correctly.

I work with Linux.
