Ed, dunno what version of SpamAssassin you're looking at ;)  It does
recognise it, based on the "below is the result" string -- the BUGGY_CGI
test.  For some reason though, the scores are not generally high enough to
trigger on their own -- probably not enough spam in the corpora using it.

I didn't realise Matt W was 15 when he wrote it... :(
