I’m running integration tests on Rails 1.1/Ruby 1.8.4/Windows XP and  
have  
found that any call to follow\_redirect! (directly or through  
[get|post]\_via\_redirect) causes rake to abort (see command line output  
below). Has anyone else seen this error, or know what might be the  
trouble?  
Thanks!

Tom
