CSS / PM theme load errors

As of lately I keep getting more and more frequent errors loading the proper CSS. I have selected the Perl-Blue Theme in my display settings, yet what I'm getting looks entirely different.

This had happened in the past, too, but only once in a while, typically when the server was at its limits, and the page took minutes to load. Now it's about every other page request (even though the page loads quickly).

Any ideas what the problem might be? And yes, I've already tried restarting my browser, and force-reloading the page — just in case.

The <head> section of the page contains (as I suppose it should)

    <!-- Theme 404270: Perl-Blue Perl Monks Theme    -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/common.css" type="text/css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="?node_id=404267" type="text/css" />
[download]

update:...though, upon second look, I see it says 404270 in the comment, but then goes on to load node_id=404267 (?)

Likely this is an old version of the css/common.css file, on the new webserver qs1969. If you can tell us the exact URLs that 404 for you, maybe we can come up with a different diagnosis.</c>	[reply]

Actually, I'm not getting 404s, and I can also `wget` the CSS link in the head section (update:~~just fine, it just seems to be the wrong theme~~), but it's empty: ...

The theme and the corresponding CSS node (viewcode) are two different numbers, so that should be no immediate issue. The theme lists Perl Blue Theme CSS as its CSS file - maybe it should list a different CSS file.	[reply]

I'm seeing this 'error' in the CSS as well. It's not that the CSS is completely turned off but some strange place in the middle. I see it as Anonymous Monk, Perl Blue and Red. I haven't tried the others yet but this makes me think that common.css is working but not colors.css (I may have the name wrong) which is used to distinguish themes.
