By something I call before eww.

It retrieves and displays the requested page in its full HTML glory
(i.e. as text, not rendered).  As I mentioned, calling eww with my
.emacs included produces an error, but `emacs -q` does not.  I saved the two
buffers and diffed them.  The only difference was the timestamps ("Date"
and "Expires").

But now something is different with the way the page is rendered.  When
I previously reported this (perhaps) bug, nothing was displayed at all.
In the intervening time I've changed my .emacs (but don't have a
changelog, sorry) and now the DDG page is _partially_ displayed.  The
top line of the buffer reads "https://duckduckgo.com/html/?q="; and the
cursor is blinking on the next line.

But I can't enter anything, and the text entry field is not displayed.
The eww menu is displayed and works fine.

Thanks for your help,

John
