Hi Chris,

I still don't exactly know what the problem is, but this at least has
given me some insight on some messages in my error_log: I've been seeing
lots of messages about '/icon/somegif.gif' not found and haven't been
able to track down their source (not that I'd really tried, it was an
annoyance that hadn't risen to the level of serous debugging yet).  We
are using mod_rewrite, so that could be part of the problem.  I'll try
to fix it so that the icons display properly and that may have a side
effect of fixing ppm.

Scott
