I have now just reproduced Jason's bug. http://localhost/lpt1 kills 
xitami if a printer is installed on win2k

http://localhost/aux gives 403 as one might expect. However the lpt1 
problem only seems to apply to localhost. In otherwords a remote machine 
doing http://myhost/lpt1 gets the expected 403
