Yeah - well if they stuck with Apache and GNU/Unix then they could have
just written this into a modperl core part of the application. Instead,
it runs out of a CGI, which can not be the best thing going.

Even in DOS?
BTW - I had this problem year and years back with users using capital
letters in their names and fouling up email.
YOUR FILES ARE IMPORTANT. LOOK LOOK LOOK
I can safely say, after almost 20 years at this, that desktop
programmers are the stupidest, easiest to brainwash, most didtsy, PIA
programmers and users of any technophiles. They are just dumb as rocks,
never learn from their, or others, experiences, and can be fed any line
of technobable garbage which they will take hook line and sinker.
And never try to argue with them. It is like arguing with your 13 year
old daughter.
