The image displays okay for me.  The 'gettext' page uses the same
template as the one for 'grep'.  Can you look at the grep page and say
if it is the same or different?

  http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/

Using 'wget' is often a good way to debug what is happening.  Try
using wget on your machine to retrieve the pages and see if it pulls
the result okay.  Here is what I see.

  $ wget --no-proxy -S http://www.gnu.org/graphics/gnu-head-sm.jpg

The above reported "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" and saved the jpeg image okay.

The above saved the target value of the link okay.  Everything seems
to be okay as far as I can deduce.

I have had a number of bad experiences with proxies.  Is it possible
you have a bad proxy that is causing you problems?
