OK, I stand corrected. Jhawk tells me that this is probably an old
misconfiguration, and not a result of my infoagents upheavals. Nonetheless
it may well be something that infoagents needs to fix. I'll have a look at
it, but at the moment I have to do things like getting Netscape 3.01 fully
functional again, and so forth. :) So it's in the queue.
