Bill, 

The problem links are shortened relative links. See my additional post 
with more symptoms that I posted before I realized you had responded.

As you suggest, changing the links to add a trailing / "fixed" the 
problem, and if I didn't want to use existing web pages with shortened 
relative links without the trailing / character, it wouldn't be a 
problem. 

I would like to understand what is causing this to work the way it is.
