Sorry, I was narrowly viewing the question of whether the behavior of the 
redirect itself was a bug.  Since you can successfully call an abort command 
afterwards, it seems that the bug is not in the redirect itself, but how the 
mess gets cleaned up after the fact.  Namely, it seems, that ADP handler gets 
freaks out when you've already sent a fully formed response before it gets to 
do so, and nobody told it not to.  It's still a coding error not to inform the 
ADP that it needn't return a response, but crashing is of course an 
unacceptable result particularly for such a minor breach of protocol.

That's exactly why its a bug.  You may indeed want to continue processing after 
sending a response to the client but you can't do that if the server crashes.
