        That problem is fixed in today's update, and the equivalent
mod should fix it in the devel code.

        That fix if from Klaus for the devel code.  It indeed fixes
the problem in both the devel and fotemods code.  The description
of the problem is the same in the devel code's CHANGES.new and in
FOTEMODS, and I doubt I can decribe it any better than Klaus did,
but if you still have code with that bug, here's a sequence of
things you can do to produce the problem:

        1) Go to http://www.wfbr.edu/
        2) Use "15g" to make the 15th link current, which also will
           take you to the second page of the current document.
        3) Now ACTIVATE that link, and you'll end up on the second
           page instead of top the the document it retrieves.
