[SL] Re: "System" menu links do not all work

No, I don't get a 500 error as noted in the FAQ.
In fact I get *no* error message in the Apache2 error_log.
All I get is this in access_log (when clicking on the LaTeX Templates link):

<snip>
::1 - - [19/May/2003:22:45:30 +0100] "GET 
/sql-ledger/menu.pl?path=bin/mozilla&action=acc_menu&level=System--LaTeX%2520Templates&login=ivladm&password=ivdTSxx5LUDuk&System--LaTeX%20Templates=1&submenu=1
 HTTP/1.1" 200 7325
</snip>

Nevertheless I've tried out the FAQ hint to comment lines 80-81 in SL/Form.pm.
Result: Error 500. (Just the opposite of the intended effect...).

As everything else appears to work more or less as it should: What's special 
about
*these* links? Are there special prerequisites that must be fulfilled in order 
to
make them work? What's the correct access rights settings?

And: What *should* I see clicking on these links?

Thanks
