[Zope] redirect strangeness ...

[Charlie Reiman]

I can't say specifically, but %3A is ':', so I'd guess marshaformvars() is
returning something with a ':' in it, which might confuse the browser. Try
URL encoding that part.

FWIW, using the standard headers and footers is a waste of time here, since
redirect is part of the HTTP headers which appears before any HTML.
