Hmm.... that would indeed be the cause of the misbehaving BASE tag. 
HTTPRequest constructs the BASE either from HTTP_HOST, or, if omitted, from 
SERVER_NAME and SERVER_PORT.

You can confirm this by opening 
http://servername:serverport/path/to/Zope/REQUEST in w3m (in your case 
http://bespin:9090/REQUEST), and then look for the HTTP_HOST and SERVER_URL 
environment variables. If they read bespin, and not bespin:9090, then w3m 
is to blame and a bug report should be filed with its creator.
