Thanks for the patch link. I had to regenerate it, and I'm wondering if I missed something. The patch as I added it (attached below) does get rid of the warning from date, but all the other errors still seem to be there and Firefox still displays only a blank page, as do Links and W3M. Errors on the arc tty are very similar:

reference to undefined identifier: _ranked-stories*

=== context === newspage gs1645 gs905 handle-request-thread

Links uniquely appears to send 2 requests:

reference to undefined identifier: _subseq

=== context === date memodate srvlog gs905 handle-request-thread

reference to undefined identifier: _ranked-stories*

=== context === newspage gs1645 gs905 handle-request-thread

As to Lynx I found this forum doesn't support it either, and I'm not sure I blame it. I tried logging in from my Zaurus, only to get an error about invalid content length. I'm annoyed with Lynx more than the forum. It's been around long enough.

Edit: Fixed the newlines. >_> I hope I didn't screw up the patch.

Edit #2: Or not. What kind of forum is this? One that likes proper <p> tags... Okay, I could live with that but honestly, what kind of coding-discussion forum does that make it?

Put two spaces before each line of code:

  ordinary text you want to put in a single
  paragraph

    (indent two spaces
      (to get code)
      (that is readable)
      (make sure
        (to put empty lines before and after)))

Ok... well I suppose I could paste errors into an editor before pasting them here.
