At first shot it looks better. However I need to wait for the various 
mirrors to settle (*cough*), since I'm getting all kinds of other errors 
at the moment. At least the urls listed on the errors do not have the 
garbled variable names in them now, so it looks like a positive change.

I'll let you know if I still see the problem after this settles down. 
Thanks a lot.
