This does not seem something extraordinary, but somebody may find a ground to expand upon: ICQ Version 99b Beta v.3.19 Build #2569 freshly downloaded today from www.icq.com The My ICQ Page functionality turns ICQ user's PC into (sort of) a web server, listening on port 80. This web server serves an ready-made page with various things on it, and among them -- a guestbook. Submissions to this guestbook are hanlded by guestbook.cgi script. When an external visitor requests an URL like http://icq-user-ip-address-here/guestbook.cgi , he or she will get a Forbidden HTTP reply. However, if the URL is http://icq-user-ip-address-here/guestbook.cgi (with a ? at the end), ICQ will crash with a simple GPF. I must admit that I did not bother to notify the developers, because the TOS that pop up every now and them discourage me to do so. Philip
