Fixed. It's something on my end--I hadn't told Apache that the content-type for .dmg files is application/octet-stream.

I think that a previous 5.8 install overwrote some of the 5.5 library (doing a 'configure.gnu --prefix=/blah' still made 5.8 install crap into /Library). And Perl picked up on some fink libraries. And when I 'upgraded' fink, 5.8 *and* 5.6 were b0rked (as soon as they tried to dynamically load *anything*, they died). Around the same time I discovered that I somehow had a GNU du(1) in /usr/bin and that was enough to redline my weirdometer. Time for a fresh install so can deal with known quantities. Nat
