Yes! Yes! What an Idiot I am! I had copied the htdig.conf file from the test server and forgotten to change that line, not thinking about the fact that all the programs use the one configuration file to override their built in variables!
Many thanks, Gilles. We're now about to use this version in our production intranet.

Is it possible that the compiled-in value is correct, but is being overridden by the corresponding attribute in an older config file you're using?
