It's true that many overflows have been found in unicode aware
applications, like the zillion unicode overflows in Internet Explorer
for example. But that shouldn't lead to considering unicode a general
security risk in my mind even though the apache team uses ascii in the
default configuration to protect against bugs in poorly written
applications.
