OK I have got round this for now.

I have downloaded Ramon's 3.9 image (see www.onsmalltalk.com) and I can get
files to serve like I do from my old 3.8 image.

I don't yet know the full significance but my failing 3.9 image had
KomHttpServer at version gk.6 and seaside at 2.7a1-mb.205.  Ramon's image has
KomHttpServer at gk.14 and seaside at 2.7a1-rjl.156

When I get some more time I'll try to track down what versions of what 
introduced or remove the problem a little more sientifically.

BTW If your reading Ramon - you've made a great job of the look and feel of 
the image.

Thanks
