Andreas: actually the original question was: is this misrendering due to my 
compile of konqueror or a real problem? And we have three votes for "real 
problem" and one additional comment that it was fine in 2.1.1 (which i knew, 
since i run 2.1.1 on another machine and it renders fine.)

Anyway, I've discovered that removing the table captions -- which are buggy 
in their own right -- makes the table render just fine. The problematic bit 
of HTML looks like this:

	<CAPTION><P><BR></CAPTION>

so the unbalanced seems to be a problem. Well, I've attached a mini-HTML 
file that displays the problem, and once you fix the bug -- or fixup the 
caption tag, you will see a subversive message translated freely from an old 
dutch song by Doe Maar.
