Summary: slider.js blocked incorrectly

Initial Comment:
I've just come across a rather odd blocking rule in default.action under the web bug section: /js/slider\.js

Thinking this seemed a rather odd rule I checked my logs and found no legitimate hits and quite a few false positives, examples such as:
False positives:
http://www.apponic.com/js/slider.js
http://www.velovision.com/js/slider.js
http://www.ovt.com/js/slider.js

Probably false positives:
http://maps.level3.com/js/slider.js

Looking at the context in default.action I wonder if it's been included by mistake at some point, as it has no comment or examples around it, and looks like it causes more problems than it solves.

Message:
Thanks for the report, I removed the pattern like you suggested.

Note that some comments are only in the master file and don't make it into
default.action:
http://ijbswa.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ijbswa/current/default.action.master?view=log

In this case the origin of the patterns seems to be a request you filed in
2006 whose pattern was made more generic before being committed:
