I think what happens is that the links does lead me to different locations,
but the URL at top of the browser remained the same, so I was in a different
windows, and I shows you the URL I had when I got the errors.

Ok, let me show you how to get the errors.
1. Go the URL above.
2. click in the 'W' link
3. Click in the first link, 'windex-bitmaps-io.ads'
4. Click on 'windex' link (the first in the page'
5. click in the 'Version' link right near the top.

You'll get the error. Notice during all this time, the URL did not change.

Many more broken links like this all over the document. You just have
to try moving around it and you'll see.
