So why doesn't it match something like > /aaaaaa?site=x in 4.06? I thought regexp should find the > longest match which > would include would be /aaaaaa?site= > Just a comment :) I see...

Anybody knows what's going on here? Cheers, Kiko ----- It's not a bug, it's a feature. christoph starkmann mailto:kiko@nfq.de http://www.fh-augsburg.de/~kiko ICQ: 100601600 -----
