+ <p>Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) will by default ignore
+ server-generated error messages when they are "too small" and substitute
+ its own "friendly" error messages. The size threshold varies depending on
+ the type of error, but in general, if you make your error document
+ greater than 512 bytes, then MSIE will show the server-generated
+ error rather than masking it. More information is available in
+ Microsoft Knowledgebase article <a
