 module some hosts run that blocks requests with certain "suspicious" text.
 Definitely not anything in WordPress core, and not really something we can
 work around. I'd contact your host.

 Will contact the host, thanks for the info. It's a very annoying issue,
 shouldn't WordPress provide an error of some sort if mod_security is on?
