I've encountered some "Internal Errors", too, and responding as requested to
them should help them to debug their code. I got results, Malcom did, by
entering 12 markers, then increasing the number. I have 2 21/23 matches, one
pedigree with surname, the other with none.

There are other cosmetic problems whcih may by a function of the particular
browser, versions, etc - whatever, the case, our feedback will help them
debug & clean up.

Anyone else see a problem with 389i, 389ii? No matter what else is entered,
I always get an "X", indicating mismatch at either 389i, 389ii, and never both.
Seems to be an error in the formatting of output. I'll check further.
