Has everyone run out of ideas for what might be causing this problem?

Have you configured your server to send the correct mime types yet? No
point in us suggesting other solutions if you haven't tried what we
suggested the other day yet.

I truly dont know if this will answer your problem but take a look at this
link, specially to the paragraph "Final Slash in Pathnames":

I went through the config files on my PC and I can't
see any setting that would cause Apache to do this.

the problem doesn't exist if the correct mime is sent with the images.
(as was said several years ago in the thread)

Why exactly would that cause it? I can see the images
if I go to index.html, but not if I got to the root directory
and the default file is served. Why would there be a
difference when the same html file is served in both cases?

Had a similar problem recently with images not loading fo no apparent
reason. IIRC the problem did not appear to be browser related.

This by no means scientific: I had a quick look at the images in some image
editing program, couldn't see anything out of the ordinary and finally in a
fit of desperation saved the files. Problem went away. No idea what or
why. It just worked.

You mean you just had them all in image editing program & had never saved them. LOL Now that's the
best story yet.

I use a little image viewer (Firehand Ember) & frequently images show up as all black until I open &
save them. than they are fine. As far as I can figure is that they are missing bits of data that is
fixed when resaved.
