FYI, in my case it made the error more apparent (something like
"/usr/bin/tail: no such file or directory"), but no less cryptic.
The temporary fix is to rename /bin/HEAD to /bin/HEAD.pl (along with the
other two scripts, just for consistency).  If it ever gets accepted into
libwww, it could be a permanent fix as well.
