As another poster suggested, the problem is an incorrect MIME type on
the server. The reason the stylesheet loads in the second page but not
the first is due to the DOCTYPE. The first page triggers standards
mode, which requires the correct type. The second page triggers quirks
mode, which doesn't.
Don't get around your problem by changing the DOCTYPE on the first page,
that would be fixing the wrong problem. Contact the hosting service and
tell them to fix the Content-type for .css files. It should be
text/css, not text/plain.

I was that other poster, and I too specifiy "standards mode" (for 4.01
Transitional).
I've been assuming that this is the right thing to do (that is, not specify
"quirks mode"). But I never really understood the pros and cons. I assumed it
would help me validate that I was producing forward-looking material. But it
also appeared to mean that I may therefore produce material that IE5 & IE6
(etc) rendered differently. (IE5 box model, etc). (I've read the MS pages on
the topic, but they say "what" happens, and don't really answer "why" do one
thing or the other).
Is there a downside to "standards mode"?

I don't know if yours is the same problem. (
I don't think the server can be the problem, because different HTML
documents linking to the *same* stylesheet do display the styles
correctly.

None that I can think of. You have a better chance of getting
consistent results using standards mode than quirks mode.

Someone else has already responded. The page that doesn't work starts:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/strict.dtd">
That forces certain browsers to obey rules strictly. (It is actually the 2nd
line, with the URL, that tells them to do that). As it happens, IE6 still
doesn't do obey the rules strictly, and will use a CSS that is being served as
text/plain. Mozilla Firebird and perhaps other browsers do take a stricter
line, and refuse to use the CSS.
Interestingly, Mozilla Firebird refuses to use that CSS in standards mode. But
the "web developer's" toolbar you can add to Firebird will happily show you
the contents of the CSS! It has no trouble obtaining the CSS - it simply
refuses to use it. Which is presumably correct practice, but a bit irritating
when you first hit it.

I thought I was fighting a PHP problem, so I asked about this on a PHP
list, but they felt it was a Javascript problem, so I'm reposting a
bit of the debate here. Could this Javascript, below, possibly trigger
a redirect in Netscape, and send the browser to a file called "0".
Cause what is happening is on load, in Netscape, the page redirects to
something like:
