Sigh, check current configs, then send email.

I also was initially using the:

<FilesMatch "^\.">

regex, which has the unexpected habit of blocking the ".." directory,
which breaks the "click here for parent directory" links in the Index
listings (if memory serves, my change log on http.conf doesn't list
the exact problem).

The current block I'm using for sites that do not have dot files is:

<Files ~ "^\.[^.]">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

Which allows .. to work properly.
