        I tried the form-based search for both "fonts" and "perl" with the
W32 binary and a dev7 build on Scott's SOLARIS, and had no problem.  I
also looked at the sources for the form page and hit lists, and saw no
markup that might be problematic (though it's surprising ora doesn't have
ALTs for all of its images).
