I've discovered that this is an Apache error message.  The Apache error 
log contained the following:

[Thu Jul  5 15:59:41 2007] [error] [client 203.26.206.130] mod_security: 
Access denied with code 412. Pattern match 
"\\\\.php\\\\?.*=(https?|ftp)\\\\:/.*(cmd|command)=" at REQUEST_URI 
[severity "EMERGENCY"] [hostname "www.frickers.co.uk"] [uri 
"/typo3/tce_db.php?vC=123a52138f&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.frickers.co.uk%2Ftypo3%2Falt_menu.php&cacheCmd=all"]

Which is what I've done, and it has worked.  However I have no idea why 
or how this works.
