Hi All,

I have this rather curious issue with pyblosxom 0.8rc1:

Suppose I'm at the root of my site (http://u7.dk/ - it's in danish, so
most of you'll probably understand close to nothing of it :o). 

story.html includes a category link as follows:

<a href="$base_url/$path" title="Category">$path</a>

Suppose I look at the 'Roadmap og Milestones for u7.dk' entry
from the root of the site: 

Expected category link:
<a href="http://u7.dk:8088/blog/teknisk" title="Category">teknisk</a>

Actual category link:
<a href="http://u7.dk:8088/blog/teknisk" title="Category">teknisk</a>

Observation: $path is not empty, nor is $base_url.
Observation: When checking entries from the root of the site, all
entries have correct paths.
Black box hypothesis: The expected behavior is to replace
$base_url/$path
correctly at the root of my site.

Now, suppose I enter the 'teknisk' level in the category hierarchy and
reexamine the link:

Expected (black box) category link:
<a href="http://u7.dk:8088/blog/teknisk" title="Category">teknisk</a>

Actual category link:
<a href="http://u7.dk:8088/blog/" title="Category"></a>

Observation: the $path variable is empty.
Conclusion: 'Something went wrong'(tm) - the $path variable is empty.

My question then becomes: Why does the $path variable become
empty?

For another example, try taking a look at
http://u7.dk:8088/reflektioner/ 
and consider the category link of the first post 'Et læseprojekt:

<a href="http://u7.dk:8088/blog//laesehesten"
title="Category">/laesehesten</a>

Now, since unfortunately I'm not the brightest candle on the christmas
tree, perhaps one of Santa's little helpers could enlighten me as to
what is happening here?

Kind regards,

	Rune
