Ah, that doesn't operate well with depth settings that aren't zero. 
Imagine a site with categories:

weblogging_systems (with no posts)
weblogging_systems/pyblosxom (with 2 posts)
weblogging_systems/movable_type (with 3 posts)

With depth set to 0 (or anything greater than 1) visiting 
http://site/pyblosxom/weblogging_systems will show 5 posts: no problem. 
However, for my photo gallery, I don't want every photo in a subcategory 
to show up in higher level categories. So, in the example above, 
http://site/pyblosxom/weblogging_systems should say "no posts in this 
category: there are the following subcategories; drill down further". 
That's not quite the same thing as a 404, which is "there's nothing here 
at all"; that would be misleading to users, I think. So what I'd like to 
do is override the 404, and I don't think there's an easy way to do that...
