On a related note, referers can be set to anything the user-agent wants.
While browser bugs might be an issue, malicious user-agents would
probably cause more problems.

Checking the referer on a form is no way to make sure it's being
submitted from the right place. It can be spoofed too easily. Make sure
referer-checking isn't your only line of defense...
