I don't think many admins would intentionally turn on autoindexing on
such a directory - imagine navigating thru this puppy with your favorite
browser. But if they did, I'm sure that they would rather see output
than seg faults.
As I think I said, I don't mind a superior solution. But the last time
I checked, it didn't exist. Seg faults in the core whenever you use
something as popular as mod_include just don't cut it.
