Hmmm...this I'm not sure of. There's probably a setting somewhere, not
sure. I'll see what I can dig up.

I think this is a bug I accidentally introduced in 0.5. The problem is
with the Mason $m->redirect -- I used to have my own. Well, when I made
the change to the new way of doing things, it stopped working. The
work-around: go back to the old way. Here's what you need to change:

In tools/play

Change the following:

# now do the redirect
$m->redirect($url);

to

$m->comp("$gConf->{interfaceroot}/tools/redirect", url=>$url);


There may be another place where the new redirect is used, I'll look or
you can grep for it.
