seems like it does match.  it's monday, so maybe my internal pattern
matching engine needs some tweaking.  ;-)

the rewrite engine gets handed:
/rotatorstats.asp?login=pmak0

start from the beginning of the string and match the leading slash,
then match all following characters.  keep backing up till \.asp is
also matched.  i don't see how the query string makes any difference.
if he put an end of string '$' at the end of the pattern, then that would
change the matching and cause it to fail.
