Yes, I've seen this too, but only with the original web page. When I download it and put it and the images in a file, it works fine. It seems to be OK with just about any other browser. I've taken a look at the source, and note tags I've never seen before, such as div. According to my dated HTML book, only Netscape supports this tag--possibly differently? I note that Emacs thinks that the source is SGML, and http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freebsd.org%2Fdoc%2Fen_US.ISO8859-1%2Fbooks%2Fhandbook%2Fvinum-examples.html can't work out what kind of document it is, so it's probably worth somebody with more SGML-foo than me to put some effort into making the pages standards-compliant.
