fear the sunsite imagemap

We've found that by retrieving the following URL:

http://sunsite.unc.edu/cgi-bin/imagemap/sunbuttons2?158,47

last night, we got:

HTTP/1.0 304 Itsa gone

which means not-modified. We speculate that it's supposed to mean 302
or 301, which is redirect. This can play havoc on browsers and proxies
who use 304 to indicate using a local copy and makes the document
unloadable.

That was last night. Today, we get:

HTTP/1.0 500 Something broke

Hmmm. How useful.

Simon, is this something we can expect a fix for soon?
