Why do scripts that set cookies with Apache not work with IIS/PWS?

Apparently there is a bug in IIS/PWS that will cause the server to 
ignore a SetCookie header directive if there is also a redirection 
directive.  There appear to be a number of workarounds, from coding the 
redirection in JavaScript to switching to Apache.
