Safari doesn't redirect meta-refresh pages!!

I have a problems in Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.3) where on websites using the meta-refresh tag Safari doesn't redirect the pages. This is a pain, especially because some sites I use regularly use this, ie Gmail. Anyone had this problem before? It hasn't happened to be before and started a few days ago.

I have OS X 10.4.6 with Saft and Safari stand installed for Safari.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Balazs

when i go to websites that use the meta-refresh tag to redirect themselves to another page (test http://skuf.co.uk/) it doesn't show up anything but a blank page. I can right click and view the source to see the page it should re-direct to, and enter that manuall, but with things like gmail (or google analytics), the link is only valid once, and if it doesnt re-direct then it wont work. It works fine in Firefox 1.5.

It turned out that it was Saf that was causing the problem, but I love the app, anyone else been having the same problem?
