We got a lot of these too:

access_log:206.12.81.100 - - [07/Jul/1996:21:48:58 -0400] "GET 
/cgi-bin/phf?Qname=tests%0acat%20/etc/passwd HTTP/1.0" 404 -

Not original but they tried--looks like an automated script judging from 
the similarities of the log entries.

In any case does anyone else have any experiences with this?  I know the 
problem and all, I'm just trying to get an idea of how widespread this is.
