The only place I can see this problem could arise from is the "Referer:" 
statement in the HTTP header. This is sent by the browser to elogd, so if the 
included URL contains a blank, this could cause the problem in case no "URL" 
statement is present in elogd.cfg. Can you please run "elogd -v" to see the 
communication betwen elogd and your browser and check this? Maybe it depends 
from the browser, or even from the history of previous accesses. If you 
confirm that the "Referer:" statement contains blanks, I can put in a fix.
