fails if URI contains %0A

I had this happen to me as well, and came up with a different
work-around that I thought I'd mention here. Use the built-in
RewriteMap functions int:escape and int:unescape immediately before and
after any external prg: type Map. That way, you avoid this and several
other potential special-character related problems, such as sloppy Perl
code interpreting backquotes in URLs as shell commands, which is bad
(not that I've ever had it happen to me ;-] ). So you re-escape the
URL, thereby translating the carriage return back to %0A and the URL
becomes one line again. Not necessarily better for this one problem,
but worth mentioning.
