It took me sometime to narrow the problem - after filling a link field in a CCK node when trying to view the node, Apache crashes (or just failing to show the node) with the following error pasted from xampp\apache\logs\error.log:

[Mon Sep 03 11:43:36 2007] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/Program Files/xampp/htdocs/sites, referer: http://localhost/my-site/node/112/edit

Another finding: it happens only if an external link is included filled with the http:// (e.g. http://www.yahoo.com)

Same problem here, xampp/apache crashes when the link field is filled.

Downgrading to 1.5 worked.

This is actually a token issue and has been fixed in latest dev version. See http://drupal.org/node/129338#comment-254665. Maybe leave this issue open until next token version is out.
