Bug Report:  regarding Netscape's printing of certain I/S web pages


On Athena workstations if you use the standard version of Netscape
from the infoagents locker:

	athena%  add infoagents
	athena%  netscape &

and go to the URL:

	http://web.mit.edu/is/help/eudora/

or any links from that page which have the I/S logo graphic as the
first item on the page, then printing that page to a printer will
result in no output.

Printing the page to a file will show that Netscape only outputs
the Netscape PostScript page header, without the rendered body of
the page.

This appears to happen as long as:

	<img src="http://web.mit.edu/is/graphics/ispub.gif">

is the first rendered item on the page.  However, if you change
the image reference to be:

	<img src="../graphics/ispub.gif">

it works.  It's obviously a Netscape bug, but I thought you might
want to know about it.
