I've played a little bit with a Lotus Domino server (version 5.0.8) on Windows 2000 and 
with NoBanner set to 1.

I've found two strange behaviours :

1°)

When the requested script has a ".pl" extension, the physical path of the file is revealed.
This allow us to identify (in this case) a Windows version.

Quick cut-and-paste of the result page :

======8<==========================================================
Error 500
Execution of Perl script e:\notes\data\domino\cgi-bin\NUL.pl failed. Error = 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lotus-Domino/5.0.8 
Content-type: text/html 
Error 500
Unable to run CGI program. No such file or directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lotus-Domino/5.0.8 
======8<==========================================================

I've not investigated  why there are two "Error 500 " in this page ....


2°)

Any 500 error code is sent with the banner (here "Lotus-Domino/5.0.8") despite the 
NoBanner setting
