to port 80 on an Apple Mac, MacOS 8.5.1, with web sharing enabled makes it  
change from "Web Sharing On" to "Web Sharing Off", presumably because the web  
server task dies. An annoying DoS, possibly worse, who knows (depends if  
they compiled with range checking on, what language they used, etc).
