w3 troubles

[Dave Hunt <wx1g@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Try as I might, I cannot get w3-4.0pre.46 to display a page, even the one 
at cs.indiana.edu.  I have built and installed according to instructions.  
The lisp source and binary files are all in /usr/share/emacs/.  I let the 
Makefile put the load commands into my .emacs.  When I start w3, it loads, 
contacts the site, retrieves the page, draws, and stops with the error 
"wrong type argument stringp nil".  I'm left in the scratch buffer, but in 
w3-mode.  What's happening?

Thanks for any suggestions,

-Dave
