I don't know what it was in the past, but the one I recently reported
had no Javascript or anything like that; it was specifically caused
by a character in a header which had an invalid high bit, and caused
no crash when that character was removed (I run the company's server,
so I can play that sort of game).  This would be consistent with
other people's spam from the Far East, and would also be easy to
check for.
