Hi,
I ran across an issue with httpd(8) on 5.8-RELEASE & -CURRENT (2/12/2015
snapshot) where fetching a .hidden file located on a CD through httpd
results in httpd crashing (no core file or error message logged).

To reproduce, mount CD in a location which is served by httpd. eg CentOS
minimal install iso[1] has a hidden file in the root called .treeinfo

Try to fetch http://myweb/.treeinfo

Of course this is not a common scenario found in production, I happened
to run into it whist taking a shortcut to save time & disk space by
mounting the CentOS iso on a virtualbox guest which was running OpenBSD.
