I'll agree on that not being a 'solution' though for the moment it's 
making the crucial parts of the site functional. My gut reaction too was 
that it was something to do with the skins and bad html - but why would 
adding extra junk to the bottom of the skin make the closing tags show 
up?  And it's not just closing tags that are missing.  In some of their 
admin pages (where they've done nothing to edit the skins) it's 
truncated far enough up the page to keep some forms from working 
(omitting submit buttons, etc).

We're still hoping their upgrade to the latest will fix this mysterious 
issue, but it's almost as though php's just giving up on the html 
rendering before it's done.  And not reporting a single error about it 
to us.

I'm baffled. :-p
