Okay, here's a tough one. I think Ken may be the only one of this list
with ModRewrite jujitsu skills, but please anyone feel free to suggest.

I've mapped all my URLs from my old weblog to the new one.  Everything
works except the "about" page which times out.  Here's a typical one
example that works fine:=20

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} rightframe\=3Dblog_bicycle_polo
RewriteRule weblog /adam/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/bicycles/blog_bicycle_polo.htm=
l [L]

Here's the "about" one that doesn't work:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} rightframe\=3Dabout
RewriteRule weblog /adam/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/this_weblog/about.html [L]

But if you go to this URL, everything is fine:

http://bostoncoop.net/adam/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/this_weblog/about.html

(the canonical URL would be

http://bostoncoop.net/adam/weblog/this_weblog/about.html

which also works)

I'm racking my brain for some way to debug this.  It's a little
frustrating how ModRewrite times out rather than giving some informative
message in a log. I suppose this might be a sign of an infinite loop, but
I don't see how it's getting that, particularly given the [L] flag which
means don't process anything more after this.

Tips much appreciated!
