I have difficulties to locate the rule that generates this 
false-positive (no "id" and did not get any hits by searching rule file 
for the pattern match) for my php application:
[13/Aug/2007:20:45:58 +0200] 
[www.xxx.xxx/sid#691d20][rid#8f25f8][/xxxxxx.php][2] Warning. Pattern 
match "\\%(?!$|\\W|[0-9a-fA-F]{2}|u[0-9a-fA-F]{4})" at ARGS:xxxx.


Another wierd problem i have is this false-positive that i get when i 
upload one specific file.
[Fri Aug 10 21:56:32 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] ModSecurity: 
Request body is larger than the configured limit (134217728). [hostname 
"www.xxxx.xxx"] [uri "/xxxxxx.php"] [unique_id "xY87X1hQBsUAACf7hcwAAAAA"]

I have locate the problem to the variable "SecRequestBodyInMemoryLimit" 
that was set to 131072 (134217728/1024) but when i raise the value 
nothing happends (restarted apache2), even the same error with the same 
number with in (). Anybody that have had the same problem?

I am using Mod security 2.1.1, apache 2 on Debian etch and core rules 
from mod security. Any help to get? I tried to solv this for 2 days now 
and i cant do anything more then ask for help because I'm out of ideas 
(or i may be blind)..
