It's not a Windows problem; it doesn't work on Linux either. I just
downloaded Instiki, untarred it, went into the directory and ran
./instiki. I go to the top level page, and get a totally blank page (no
HTML returned at all).

$ ./instiki
=> Instiki started on http://0.0.0.0:2500
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown; call with --help for options

Here's the output from curl -D - http://localhost:2500

Nothing useful in the logs.

So something in the current release version of Instiki is broken.

I'm using the database.yml that came with instiki. It is successfully 
creating a sqlite database in db/. It just isn't working.

Are you telling me that if you download instiki-0.11.0 and unpack it and 
run it on your system, as is in a fresh directory, it works?
