You generate a page, then do a Location: redirect? Are you buffering the
output then disposing of it so that the Location: works, or do you not
want the Location: to work if you have generated output? Which page is
half there, the one redirected too?

That would explain it, but an out of context Location: header is
meaningless... Hmm...

the output, and what kind... and I'll take a shot at it..
goodluck!
