<Reply>

It's not dependent on the client. The script just simply doesn't
stop after header(). It's just a bit strange that it worked with
some other browsers. Everything after header() will just be executed
until:

- an error occurs
- the script reaches the end
- exit;

So... when redirecting the user to a different page, you should
always put exit after the header() call.
