Which was fixed _days_ ago in CVS :-)

If your web server provides CGI scripts with an REQUEST_URI
environment variable, the fallback value of `defaulturi' won't be
used.

This has been further refined in the current CVS version -- first try
REQUEST_URI (which isn't part of the CGI/1.1 spec), then try
concatenation of SCRIPT_NAME and PATH_INFO (both of which _are_ part
of CGI/1.1), then fall back on the (corrected) defaulturi.
