* Mods of the lead relative symbolic element stripping for http/https
  URLs in cases for which they would persist when resolved to an
  absolute URL.  The lastest URL draft is ambiguous about whether this
  should be considered an error, and leaves the handling of it up to the
  UA.  So we now get rid of all lead relative symbolic elements from the
  resolved http/https URLs, but no others, and still issue a Bad Partial
  Reference statusline message. - FM
* Fixed header parsing in HTMIME.c so that "Safe:" is recognized. - KW
* Changed confirmation prompts for HEAD (']') commands acting on a POST
  document, to reflect the fact that the POST request body will not
  actually be submitted in a HEAD request. - KW
* Reset LYCancelDownload to FALSE at top of getfile(), to prevent delayed
  effect which can otherwise occur. - KW
* Changed the NSL_FORK code in HTTCP.c so that the gethostbyname() call
  is retried without forking if the child process exits without returning
  enough data.  Also added trace output, to show whether something
  unusual has happened to the child process. - KW
* Tweaks of title handling in LYMainLoop.c and LYShowInfo.c so that the
  known title, or link name associated with ACTIVATE-ion, form submission,
  or a HEAD request, will be used in the INFO ('=') display. - FM
