There may be mod_rewrite debugging as well, but I took a look at the
Apache error.log; if I try to access, e.g.,

http://laniels.org/weblog?videophones

this shows up in error.log:

[Thu Aug  7 21:23:37 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] File does not
exist: /var/laniels.org/weblog

So it's not even spotting the RewriteRule; it's just assuming that
'laniels.org/(.*)' is a file called $1 underneath DocumentRoot.

There could be a problem of the ScriptAlias interacting badly with the
RewriteRule; 'laniels.org/cgi-bin' is ScriptAliased to refer to
/home/slaniel/public_html/cgi-bin. Maybe the RewriteRule gets processed
before the ScriptAlias or something?
