              Status:  new      |   Priority:  major
           Milestone:  someday  |  Component:  extensions
             Version:  5.2.0    |   Keywords:  spiffy, spiffy-cgi-handlers
Estimated difficulty:           |
--------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 For some reason, going to the "about" page on a cgit repostiory causes
 spiffy to infinitely redirect with something like the following sample
 debug log. I think I've observed the behavior on others' spiffy servers as
 well. Not sure I understand cgi well enough to provide more info.
