When Zope internally modifies the URL (to something different
than what is know by the browser), it must tell the browser
about this -- using the so called HTML "base" tag.

Zope can set the "base" tag automatically provided
the generated page contains a "head" tag without a "base" tag.

If your page meats this requirements and you do not see
the generated "base" tag (tell you browser to show you the
HTML source and look out for the "base" tag) or the
"base" tag has the wrong value (it should end in "sales/"),
then you hit a bug (such bugs have been occationally introduced
in the past).
