Figure 1:
The WHT ISIS combined, normalised spectrum of the afterglow (midpt 0.14 days), and 1
error spectrum (lower curve). Overlaid is the best-fitting DLA profile (solid line) and its errors (dashed lines). All significant lines (3)
are indicated above for z=3.969 (solid), z=3.565 (dashed), z=1.773 (dot-dashed) and unidentified (dotted) systems; see on-line table (Table 1) for details. Lines used in further analysis are labelled.

at the redshift of the host galaxy ( bottom) during the first 800 s of the Swift XRT observations (90% errors). The individual spectra are shown with filled circles; the two combined spectra pre- and post-500 s, for which better constraints are obtained, are shown with diamonds.
