The code uses the HTTP_REFERER variable provided by your webserver's
CGI, which in turn gets it from the "Referer:" header that the browser
puts into the HTTP request.

For some reason your browser doesn't generate this header. After doing 
some google'ing, I can see that this is not uncommon when using the
Internet Explorer browser. It would probably work fine if you switched 
to Firefox.

Except some personal firewalls (Norton) also filters this out when
passing requests to webservers.

So: Could you try changing this for me: In web/hobbit-enadis.c, around
line 320 there is this line:
       printf("Location: %s\n\n", xgetenv("HTTP_REFERER"));
Could you change that to
       printf("Location: %s%s\n\n", xgetenv("BBWEBHOST"), xgetenv("SCRIPT_NAME"));

That should make it work with your browser also.
