I finally found some time to address this problem. It was related to the way I
do the page redirection. The "Location:" in the HTTP header used a relative
path, although the standard requires an absolute (full) path, which I just
discovered. Although most browsers accept a relative path, the safari browser
obviously does not. 

I changed the redirection to absolute paths, the new version can be obtained
via CVS.
