Oh dear...

I think this isn't a PHPLib issue at all, but rather a bug in Netscape
Navigator 4.77. Using telnet to GET the page work ok, as does IE.

It's pretty bizarre that this would happen, since a Template
parse-without-append works in Netscape, too.

Anyway, thank you, Maxim and Lazaro, for your suggestions.
