I forgot to do the first, and remembered to do the second. Still, doing
the first didn't fix it.

Also, I'm doing this inside of httpd.conf, within the virtual-host block
for laniels.org

Fixing this didn't improve things, unfortunately; I still get=20

The trouble is that I'm actually trying to do two forms of shortcut:
first, I want people to be able to use '/weblog' instead of
'/cgi-bin/weblog', and I want them to be able to do '/weblog?foo' rather
than '/weblog?rightframe=3Dfoo'. Hence the full RewriteRule that I'm using
is (including the changes you suggested)

RewriteRule ^weblog\?(.*)$ /cgi-bin/weblog?rightframe=3D$1

Do you think moving this to .htaccess would fix things? I'll try that.
