The following reply was made to PR docs/10182; it has been noted by GNATS.

Line 206 of query-pr.cgi begins: $line =~ s%(\WPR[:s# \t]+)([a-z386]+\/)?([0-9]+) The uuencoded text contains the string PR#63, which query-pr.cgi assumes is a reference to another PR. The script could be modified to ignore uuencoded data, but the problem would still occur if someone includes the string PR#63 or similar in a patch, for example. I suggest the best way to fix this might be for query-pr.cgi to have an "as_text" option which doesn't do any special parsing of PRs.
