Okay ... so everything was working fine and dandy in my Firefox
browser on windows.  However, I still cannot convince IE6 that the
file is of type jpeg.  When I click on the link for the image, IE6
doesn't know the file type (it asks to save the file of unknown type).
 I've tried this with and without STDOUT.binmode.  Firefox works in
either case, properly identifying it as content type: image/jpg... but
windows does not.

The really funny part is if I screw up and put a typo in my cgi
script, I get a server error (as expected), but when I hit refresh
after fixing the typo the image pops up just fine.  But, that is the
*only* time I can get IE6 to display the image.  Any suggestions?
