[pLog-svn] another caching bug

[Mark Wu]

Hi Jon:

I meet this bug before. Actually, the script is a little bit wrong, but we
never fix it.

Okay, take lifetype offical site for example:

Precondition: The cache must be empty!!!

There are two situations:

1. When user request the page http://www.lifetype.net/blog first , it will
show "regular" page about recent posts and lifetype will cache this page.
Then when user request http://www.lifetype.net , it will redirect to
http://www.lifetype.net/blog , so you will see the lifetype give the same
page as "reqular" page.

2. If  user request the page  http://www.lifetype.net  first, it will show
"frontt" page, and lifetype will cache this page. Then user request
http://www.lifetype.net/blog , the page never generate, so lifetype will
give you a new "regular" page about recent posts, and lifetype will cache
this page, too.

Current solution to avoid this situation is to disable your smarty page
cache.
