Open this web page in IE 6.0.28xx

<html>
<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=http://www.halcyon.com/shanti/test.cgi?
foo=bar&region=us">
</html>

Line 25 of the environment string reports
QUERY_STRING=foo=bar®ion=us

Which should really be
QUERY_STRING=foo=bar&region=us

In the meta tag you have '&reg', which is the entity for the Trade Mark
symbol.

The meta tag should instead contain '&amp;region'.
