i didn't notice you have disclosed this (or a very similar to it bug).

besides me more than 5 people tested variations of the testcase and it worked
for all of them.

can you comment on this testcases:

http://www.guninski.com/where_do_you_want_billg_to_go_today_1_demo.html

redirect1.pl is hosted on apache and is:
-----------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Location: http://georgi.df.ru/xml2.xml\r\n\r\n";

-----------------------

note: if the xml is not well formed, parseError returns at least one line of
it, not to mention other exploit scenarios.
