 That's not what fetch says:
 
 	anaconda 8% fetch http://pobox.com/~cdb/cdb-0.55.tar.gz
 	fetch: cdb-0.55.tar.gz: resource has moved temporarily to `http://members.xoom.com/zero_carioca//cdb-0.55.tar.gz'
 	fetch: cdb-0.55.tar.gz: resource has moved temporarily to `http://fourohfour.xoom.com/Members404Error.xihtml'

 Regardless of this -- not addressing the issue of the distfile survey
 program -- when retrieving the HTML page, all the references point to
 the uic.edu address:
 
    1. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/djb.html
    2. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/data.html
    3. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/lists.html#cdb
    4. ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/software/cdb-0.55.tar.gz
 
 So for now, I believe the correct patch to be to change both references
 to this site.  At least, they need to be made consistent.  The redirect
 from pobox.com -> uic.edu has been in there quite a while now, suggesting
 that the 'temporary' move is somewhat less than temporary (but we'll
 leave the semantic wars for -chat :)
