Ah, but you see, here's the kicker. Unless the FPE for Unix have changed
drastically since last I frobbed with them, they *require* "AllowOverride
All" in order to work correctly.

Which is not to say there may not be another fix for this particular
issue. You can use "order deny,allow" and "{deny,allow} from" directives
to limit access from trusted IPs, for starters. Which doesn't eliminate
the issue, but certainly contains it somewhat. This makes the assumption
that such a fix will function correctly in your environment, of course.
