You are being redirected message

Ticket #3082 details a fix to add a body to redirect pages. This seems like an old patch, but only now is it biting me. I have an authentication scheme like this:

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base   before_filter :check_authentication, :except => [:signin]      def check_authentication       return true if session[:user]       session[:return_to] = request.request_uri if request.request_uri !~ /login/       redirect_to(:controller => 'admin', :action => 'signin') # ****       return false   end

The problem is that the redirect_to is not redirecting, it's giving me the page I initially asked for with a link to the proposed redirect page. I must be missing something -- I use code like this all the time.

Thoughts?
