which appears to re-direct to
http://my.aol.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmpl

when I visit that page it seems to be drawn as blank.
when I try to go back, or type in the url for the
my.aol.com I appear to get redirected to page above
and how it appears I can't get back to the my.aol.com home page.

session/frame history bug?
cache bug?

played with it some more. 
now I see that link off my.aol.com 
goes to http://www.aol.com/anywhere/sprintpcs.adp 

back on this page goes to
http://my.aol.com/template2.tmpl?set:user/nss/templates/nav4=template2.tmpl

hitting back after being redirected to that link seems to
go to my.aol.com sometimes, but most times it does not.

this might be a dup of other session/frame history bugs.
if it is feel free to dup.

nav triage team: looked at this bug, it is not a beta stopper. bulk update of 
several such bugs.

The redirection related bug has been fixed(39938). I'm guessing this should be 
fixed too. Please try again and reopen if the problem still exists.

mass-verifying claudius' Fixed bugs which haven't changed since 2001.12.31.

if you think this particular bug is not fixed, please make sure of the following
before reopening:

a. retest with a *recent* trunk build.
b. query bugzilla to see if there's an existing, open bug (new, reopened,
assigned) that covers your issue.
c. if this does need to be reopened, make sure there are specific steps to
reproduce (unless already provided and up-to-date).

thanks!
