Details

Netscape 4 and Mozilla send the hash part of a URL (the fragment identifier) in
the referer.  IE and Opera do not.

Mozilla is in violation of rfc 2616 [1].  Section 14.36 on referers states "The
URI MUST NOT include a fragment".  Fragments are the things after a # and aren't
actually part of the URI [2].

[2] http://community.roxen.com/developers/idocs/rfc/rfc2396.html (URIs)

Happens with Beonex 0.8 and Mozilla 0.9.9 (from my referer logs) and with 
2002 050908 on Windows 98.
confirming using build 2002051208 on Win2k (trunk).
