Hm, any idea what is "broken" with them?  Is there something in the
hyperref documentation that might explain why they have a different
color?

The strange thing is:  In acroread, they work.  The first one gives the
developers' reference, the next blue ones give "file not found errors".
The red ones instead give a "Security warning" dialog box:  The document
is trying to connect to file:///x.pd.  If you trust the site,  choose
Allow. If you do not trust the site, choose Block.  After choosing
Allow, the file not found error is in firefox, not acroread.

So these links have something about them that makes them non-functional
and blue in free viewers, but they work in acroread...

By the way, why are there three '/' in a row?  Wouldn't two be
sufficient?  (in acroread, they are...)
