Steve's right - I didn't realise ggpht.com was a Google site... But  
tinyurl.com is returning the right URL (see my earlier posting), so I  
still suspect something untoward is going on locally... (the resource  
paths that Barry and Roger get back in the error messages are correct  
- just missing the host name part).
