It's unfortunate, since I just fixed the exact same thing for someone else
(Joseph Rajkumar). Just finished it yesterday, in fact. I also made it work

If you just go to /data/ it should work. Where is the link?

This is with download.cgi on tap.stanford.edu, right? That program is old 
and needs to be replaced with its updated version.

v0.71 soon which incorporates the fixes for Solaris and Apache 2.x.
