Actually, I've started noticing this even though my privoxy config
hasn't changed in a long while. I think its something new that
images.google.com is doing that privoxy doesn't like.

If you add:


{ fragile } 
images.google.com


to your Privoxy action file, it works again. To declare everything as
fragile:


{ fragfile }
.


Perhaps the images.google.com declairation should be added to the
Privoxy that is shipped with vidalia/tor. It is likely to be pretty
frustrating to new users.
