I think I figured out your problem, Eric. Those of us with Win95/NT are
downloading the .mp4 file as ASCII, whether we like it or not. I just
tried it with Internet Explorer, which assumes all unknown types (like
.mp4) are binary, and it worked fine. Netscape assumed it was ASCII (at
least on my system), and that caused the page fault. The sasl and saol
files worked fine cause they are supposed to be ASCII anyway.

To resolve this, either do a Addtype in the .htaccess file for .mp4, or
simply Zip up the mp4 files (most browsers won't choke on that).

hope this helps,
Brian
