CGI redirect question, slightly OT

Greetings, perlers!

I am trying to create a web page on my intranet that grabs some user
input, and puts the results in a file for later parsing.

Everything works except the last line... sometimes.

What the user is supposed to see is a web page that says "Thank you".
Most users do.

Some will never get that page, instead they see a "Page Found. The
page you are looking for has been redirected to here" message.

What am I missing? Is it a client issue? a server issue? a script
problem?

Clients are using FireFox 1.0 and 1.5. No correlation between FF
version and problem. I do know that if a user works, they just plain
work. If they exhibit the problem, the do 100% of the time. It is
totally repeatable, but I can't see the cause.

Thanx!

-Michael

# Now that we're done, redirect the user to an "all done" page...

print "Location:
