I've already reported that bug together with a patch on January 2001:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=508665&group_id=5470&atid=305470
But it has still not made its way into the official Python release.
Another problem is that this bug was also copied in other software, for
instance Webware for Python copied parts of the cgi.py module including the
bug.

Though it is somewhat off topic here, but since I'm obviously not the only
one who has stumbled over that bug, does anybody have an idea how to enforce
the patch to be included with future Python versions?
