Happens at particular window widths because the table in the Get NetBSD 
section refuses to resize until the reactivity code has already decided 
to delete the sidebar.

You will see it if you gradually reduce the width of the window.

I think if the table content allowed wrapping of table fields (like it 
does when the stylesheet makes the sidebar disappear it might be okay.
