Running it at the console does nothing useful.  The logs don't say anything that I
didn't already know.

After restarting mv, you might be able to go through 10 pages, or have it bomb on the
first one.  When it does bomb, the
"premature end of script headers" error persistes until mv is restarted.

All the pages have a [new] tag.  I set the catalog NewTags to yes., but it still gave me
the premature end of script tags eventually.  I was able to browse through about 20
pages before I got it that time.

The new machine has a fresh install from the 3.14-5 tarball.  The catalog there.throws
an internal server error page...no one here can figure out why.
