I thought the same. The first time I thought my ISP went down - but then 
again, I got all other maillists. Then I thought the adress was marked as 
bouncing - but ther were really no messages ...
I'm "fighting" with the last update from 0.5.18 to 1.0.0: since then I 
can't upload anything. The mess is, there is no error message displayed. 
First I thought it had to do with file authorisations (my ISP changed to 
another system and another PHP version), but at home on the windows 2000 
site it also didn't work anymore.
So if I've the time I investigate in that phenomenon. Maybe I will activate 
a php debugger to get rid of this.

All this testing keeps me busy, so no much mails to the list :-)

An improvement I'll implement for the upload action is:
when the upload-directory does not exist, I display a warning on the upload 
form page, that upload is not possible. Maybe that could be for further 
interest and worth it putting it to the upload.php-script. I didn't want to 
change this, so I implemented a query in the config.php.

Another funny thing appeared: an entry 
"Attach:test.txt<http://w2khome/wiki/ATHOME.PHP?pagename=Athome.HomePage&action=upload&upname=test.txt>? 
" was displayed at the bottom of the upload-page. I've found it after a 
while: it is directly defined in PmWikiDe.UploadQuickReference at the very 
end. I'd removed it on the pmwiki.org-site.

I also noticed that 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWikiDe/UploadQuickReference was still in 
english, so I translated it to german.

PS: by the way: in the 1.0.3 version of upload.php I still found some 
$HTTP_POST_* vars, e.g. in function HandlePostUpload.
