Within the past two days users have found themselves blocked from their own sites while using recent versions of Bad Behavior.

This issue is fixed in Bad Behavior 2.0.11.
It took me a while to find this entry… Googling for the error message itself sent me into various different threads about .htaccess, read/write permissions and prototype.js.
