(...) Good news. It turned out to be a bug in some of my own code. It was hard to find but easy to fix. Technical details follow. I was able to reproduce the symptoms of the problem by asking the webserver for a bogus URL that confused it, for (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.announce)

(...) True, but that is mainly because if no 'dev' file exists the webserver assumes you meant 'dev/'. It's similar to that when you're typing www.abcd.com[1] it is assumed you mean (URL) even though ftp://www.abcd.com/ would be a correct URL too (...)
