When a form is posted with a blank input type=file
it is posted in the _post method insted of ignored. 
This is causing a number of scripting issues for me.

I'm experiencing this, too.  With Mozilla 0.9.9, an empty file upload box, 
submitted with enctype="multipart/form-data" to a Java servlet running under 
Tomcat (using com.oreilly.servlet to parse the form data), causes the servlet 
to get an empty string parameter.  This doesn't occur with Mozilla 0.9.8, 
Netscape 4.7 or Konqueror; with those browsers, the servlet either gets a file 
parameter containing data, or nothing at all.

I think this is a dupe of the old file upload bug that was breaking ebay..
