This is not exactly a bug but it can crash search engines, Web crawlers, and Web browsers. >How-To-Repeat: ErrorDocument /404.html references english/error404.htm then nonexisting english/test.htm is requested which results in a loop because nonexisting document /english/english/error404.htm is requested by mistake. >Fix: For the FAQ: Use absolute paths in ErrorDocument files. For further development: Set current working directory to path of ErrorDocument. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, you need] [to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line and make sure the] [subject line starts with the report component and number, with ] [or without any 'Re:' prefixes (such as "general/1098:" or ] ["Re: general/1098:").
