same thing with Linux under Apache 1.3.29 (Unix), perl v5.8.2 built for i486-linux and Bugzilla 
2.17.6

It seems like the error messages have gone away after I upgraded Bugzilla to 
version 2.17.7.  However, I am getting this message now:

*** 'C:\Bugzilla\buglist.cgi' error message at: 2004/03/15 20:18:03
[Mon Mar 15 20:18:03 2004] buglist.cgi: Use of uninitialized value in 
concatenation (.) or string at Bugzilla/CGI.pm line 121.

BTW, it is running on a Windows Server with ActivePerl 5.8.

That's because of the extra $ sign after boundary as explained in bug 238683.

i just checked that again in some more detail. buglist.cgi with any non-empty 
query string will return all bugs in the database. 
 
best solution to me would be an adjustable limit in params.

Both errors have been fixed between 2.17.6 and 2.17.7, by bug 226249 (line 97)
and bug 233645 (line 307). Marking as a dupe of the first one (I can't mark it
as a dupe of both :) ).
