> The use of the SM's redirection_tries counter in the core seems totally
> wrong. And, and as far, as I can tell, it does not do what you'd expect when
> you e.g. change the global config (which does nothing really).
> My suggestion is to change it such that this becomes a normal counter,
> starting at zero (0), and we increment it on each redirect. This sort of is
> inline with what some of the code expects, it's just not consistently done
> so. Some code seems to assume that the counter starts at the maximum
> redirects, and that it should decrement from there (which never happens).
