   Hello. While testing permalink redirect 1.01 from http://yoast.com/wordpress/permalink-redirect/ on IIS 6.0 with WordPress 2.7.1, I've noticed an odd behavior. I can see substantial parts of the page before the redirect occurs.

   The plugin uses
   wp_redirect($url,301)
   which in wp-includes/pluggable.php results in a
   header("Refresh: 0;url=$location")

   I ask for your opinion on a potential code change to no longer produce and show the content if a redirect is to occur.

   In some quick testing, I added one line to permalink-redirect.php after line 40 which is the call to wp_redirect. That new code is:
   exit();

   Do you think this change is safe and will result in successful redirects while not producing or showing any page content?
