    Can you be specific about what version of PIE you tested this vulnerability on?
    
    If you look at the following web pages you will see that PIE only supports a
    few HTML tags.
    
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q161319
    http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;158479
    
    Specifically the <SCRIPT> tag is not supported in PIE 1.0, 1.1 and 2.0. Only
    PIE 3.0 supports the <SCRIPT> tag.
    
    Does PIE 3.0 crash?
