Dear all,

My bad!  The same problem occurred with CTWILL and 'pdfctwimac.tex' as 
with WEAVE and 'pwebmac.tex': I missed two spaces in a '\pdfliteral' for 
setting the colors in '\pdfannotlink'.

Both macros have been fixed and the set of PDF files have been 
regenerated: 
https://github.com/ascherer/web/releases/download/2021-02-11-RC5/pdf.tar.gz

Now both MuPDF and Acrobat Reader show the pdfTeX output as expected.

Case closed!
Andreas
