On that note, what filesystem are you trying to use? I suspect that things 
will work more smoothly on a UFS formatted partition, but am not sure. 

After a couple of minutes of poking around the libwww source [1], I can't see where 
anything is referring to any system file like /usr/bin/head; apparently it's a more 
remote dependency. *shrug* I was hoping that it might be a moderately easy fix, but 
the fix I was thinking of isn't going to do it, I think. 

Having a spare copy of 'head' laying around will have to do for the moment, I guess -- 
`ln /usr/bin/head /Users/me/head.bak....`
