Easy, you can see from the original script that no thought has gone into
caching and so the images will tend to be cached. So I made my initial
request with a small browser window, loading the scaled-down version of
the images, and then re-sized upwards. The page re-load got the same
scaled-down inmates from an intervening cache (and so will anyone else
who now visits the site through the same cache :).

One of the other avoidable failure scenarios, self evident in to posted
code, will result in blank pages, when using many Internet security
programs (such as Norton) with the "privacy" checkbox checked. Is that
you?
