We're on the list, so I might as well respond here.

The 400 error does seem to be a bug someplace.  (Don't ask me where.)

But your RewriteRule makes no sense.  You are simply rewriting
one URL back onto exactly the same URL.  The change in the
browsers location bar in the second case comes about because
mod_dir performs a trailing-slash redirect, which is necessary
to assure that relative URLs are resolved correctly.

If you care to address the 400 error issue, that is probably on topic
here.  But the other problems with your rewriterule should probably be
taken up on [EMAIL PROTECTED]
