OK, we were aware that the URL was bad, but were trying to avoid
pointing to the cached version. You will see that comment in the old
SGML.
What I did was to point to the Citeseer page, but not into the cached
PDF. I think the text saying "cached version" will make it clear people
have to click to see the paper, and we aren't deep linking into
Citeseer, which I think could be a problem, and the cached URL is one of
the longest I have ever seen.
Backpatch to 8.2.X.
