to port 80 on an Apple Mac, MacOS 8.5.1, with web sharing enabled makes it
change from "Web Sharing On" to "Web Sharing Off", presumably because the web
server task dies.  An annoying DoS, possibly worse, who knows (depends if
they compiled with range checking on, what language they used, etc).

David.
