CSWWW.BemdjiState.edu isn't consistent with this (perhaps that typo is
not related).  You could try seeing some details with the -trace option,
but that did not necessarily work well with 2.7.2 (if not, upgrading
to 2.8.3 - there is an executable on the VMS freeware cdrom - might
be a better solution).
