  GRB941017, a gamma-ray burst of exceptional fluence, has recently been shown
to have a high-energy component which is not consistent with the standard
fireball phenomenology. If this component is the result of photomeson
interactions in the burst fireball, it provides new and compelling support for
substantial high-energy neutrino fluxes from this and similar sources. In this
letter, we consider what impact this new information has on the neutrino
spectra of gamma-ray bursts and discuss how this new evidence impacts the
prospects for detection of such events in next generation neutrino telescopes.
