No need.

I drilled down in the source all the way to CItemField::Get() in
src/core/ItemField.cpp and decided I HAD to be wrong.

Turns out the real issue is that my (the RHEL5) version of "xdg-open" does
not handle URLs ending in .asp correctly...

xdg-open calls "mimeopen" which is configured to think .asp is text/plain.  Grr.

Sorry for the noise.

Looks like one could fix this problem by futzing around in /usr/share/mime
and running update-mime-database.  I, on the other hand, am simply going to
no put .asp URLs in pwsafe.

Thanks to everyone keeping pwsafe going--it's good stuff.
