I noticed that you were passing the URL like this (from an earlier
message):

> > <a href="redirect.php?fred=www.fusion.org.au">test link</a>

if you put this in Location: without prefixing it with "http://"; it may be
treated as a local url or something that is not what you intend. I don't
think it is what is causing this specific error, but it could be the next
one :-))).
