User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; ja-JP; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Mnenhy/0.7.2.0

File location, at least for local file beginning with "file://", ending (or
including) "%00" shows a enigmatic page.

For example,
file:///<DRIVE>:/Documents%20and%20Settings/<USERNAME>/My%20Documents%00
file:///<DRIVE>:/Documents%20and%20Settings/<USERNAME>/My%20Documents/%00
(Please replace <DRIVE> and <USERNAME>)
The former case, an array of many "My Documents" with folder icon is listed, 
and the latter case, an array of many "0" with file icon is listed.
These are clickable, like another directory exists there.

I believe this behavior will be caused by that "%00" is unescaped to a null
character using as a terminator of string
and the browser ignores any characters after "%00".

If understanding Japanese, see also my writing at Mozilla-gumi forum;

I'm known as "a perfect fool" there.
