 Priority:  high            |   Milestone:  2.2                        
Component:  Administration  |     Version:  2.1.2                      
 Severity:  major           |    Keywords:  permalinks htaccess cgi-bin
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 When permalinks are enabled from the admin interface and the WordPress URI
 is located in the root directory, you can not access the cgi-bin.  You are
 supplied with a 403 Forbidden error.  When the WordPress generated rewrite
 rules are removed from the .htaccess file, then the cgi-bin functions
 normally again.

 Trying to stop redirects for the cgi-bin using a rewrite condition has no
 effect.

 {{{
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/cgi-bin/
 }}}

 This has been a problem since at least 2.0.3, probably longer.
