According to the command line, bookLinks contains:

['BooksOnline/perl4/index.htm', 'BooksOnline/networking/ 
index.htm', 'BooksOnline/unix3/index.htm',  
'BooksOnline/albatross/index.html', 'BooksOnline/MySQL/ 
index.html', 'BooksOnline/unix3/index.html',  
'BooksOnline/networking/index.html']

According to the web browser, it contains:

  ['BooksOnline/MySQL/index.html', 'BooksOnline/albatross/index.html']

foundBooks shows a similar discrepency, command line is:

{'BooksOnline/perl4/index.htm': 'The Perl CD Bookshelf,  
v4.0', 'BooksOnline/networking/index.htm': 'The  
Networking CD Bookshelf', 'BooksOnline/unix3/index.htm':  
'The Unix CD Bookshelf, v3.0', 'BooksOnline/albatross/ 
index.html': 'Albatross Manual', 'BooksOnline/MySQL/ 
index.html': 'MySQL 4.1 Reference Manual',  
'BooksOnline/unix3/index.html': 'The Unix CD Bookshelf,  
v3.0', 'BooksOnline/networking/index.html': 'The  
Networking CD Bookshelf'}

whereas the browser shows:

  {'BooksOnline/MySQL/index.html': 'MySQL 4.1 Reference Manual',  
'BooksOnline/albatross/index.html': 'Albatross Manual'}

The output is consistent, in that it is always the same items that  
get displayed.  I've tried viewing the page in Safari, and Camino,  
with no joy.
