This is really weird.

Open the developer console and switch to the Style Editor tab.  On
github.com you’ll see a bunch of CSS files with a note under each saying
“0 rules”.  To the right you see the CSS sources.  Now add a space
character (or make some other edit in the source pane): all of a sudden
the CSS file can be parsed!

When you do this to each file, Icecat is going to render the page just
fine.

I also note that Icecat tells me that the page is not encrypted, despite
visiting the https site without errors.  Something’s not quite right
here.
