This morning, Webalizer went nuts with a whole bunch of "Warning: Truncating 
oversized request field [line number]" messages.  Over 450K worth.  An 
investigation of my Apache logs shows requests like these:

130.225.77.30 - - [11/May/2001:12:17:26 -0800] "GET 
/sic/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stugov/stuweb.shtml
 
HTTP/1.0" 401 4292 "-" "Mozilla 4.0 (compatible; HttpTool/0.1)"

A lot of the requests are good, it looks like he was trying to traverse the 
tree.  Every now and then, there are requests of the form:

/~EgggNoggg/Testing/?D=A

Is the ?D=A testing for some hole?

Here are some other odd ones

Yes, I realized these are 11/May.  These must have been buried under some 
other error messages in Webalizer, so I didn't catch them until now. Sorry.

Any pointers would be great
