Hmm. Doesn't work on my Ubuntu installation either.
Can you have a peek at the source of what you get back? It would
appear that for some reasons the < and > brackets haven't been
converted in to html entities (
For example: my erver returns:
<p>The requested URL /<ScRipT >alert('test');</ScRipT >
was not found on this server.</p>
And thus the browser doesn't see any script tags...
