[Xitami] Why is this crashing me?

[Ervin Kosch]

That is somebody who has a good old copy of  the Nimda virus running. 
 Nimda works by flooding your server's buffers.  Once the buffer is over 
flowed someone could insert functional computer code onto your system.

Xitami isn't directly effected by the virus, rather it either ignore the 
request and goes on or crashes.  I know that my 2.4d9 is perty good at 
handling Nimda.  2.5 anything is not the best.

What version are you running?
