redirect_to ... re-directing to the action you are currently in.

I am banging my head against a wall here.

I am in index

in index I check if it was the first time index has been called for the app.

if so I make some changes to the db and redirect_to right back to index.

But... all heck seems to break loose. It seems when I redirect_to it just kinda continues from the point of the redirect_to call. It does not seem as though the action has been called fresh and the code run from the beginning of the action.

Any know of any issues I may be overlooking when in index .... and then call redirect_to :action => :index

Thanks!
