Some sites do much worse than that.  If you have cookies off, they
cause an infinite redirect loop.  Sometimes my browser manages to
detect this after a few minutes and shut it off, and sometimes it
doesn't (usually on different sites).  I think I can manually get
out of this with the STOP button, but until I do, it likely causes
a lot of useless load on the web site.
