[LON-CAPA-admin] Broken formula display (LaTeX) with https on SLES9 systems

That's really odd. I can't think of any reason that mimetex.cgi would
at all care about this.

I checked the other SLES 9 server running in https mode (and the
Fedora ones) and can't see any issue.

You'll need to send that list of changes that you made in order for me
to have any guesses at all.
