Hrm, okay, so in the future it should be okay. The cache in question was
a CERN one, no idea what version, that was translating '=' to %3D which
as Dan said is erm "NOT safe". That was the only thing I could see
causing problems (BTW from what I am told - not had a chance to check -
the BNF says that = should be escaped. Is that right?)
If Ari wants I can find out which version...
