OK, it may be that having worked through one mod_proxy problem, I now 
see *everything* in terms of that problem (akin to what happens if you 
only have a hammer), but this kinda sounds like the issue I was banging 
my head against yesterday. Is the server that is doing the redirection 
sending back invalid headers (where invalid is defined in mod_proxy as a 
HTTP header line without a colon in it)? If so, see my post to this 
mailing list of earlier today.
