Subject: Does the Windows AUX bug affect Web servers also?

Is it possible to also crash a Web server hosted on a Windows box using
a URL something like:

    http://www.somebody.com/aux

If this particular URL is okay, maybe there are other URLs that will
cause a crash.  For example, POSTing a form to a URL containing AUX.

This problem could be in any Windows Web server such as IIS, Apache,
ColdFusion, etc..

(I don't have access to a Windows Web server to try this out myself.)

Richard
