 I followed a link from the GMail page for
 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2012-August/003895.html]
 to a Tor Trac ticket.  This sent me through a Google redirect page (with
 URL
 “`http://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftrac.torproject.org%2Fprojects%2Ftor%2Fticket%2F6374&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=(cryptographic
 authenticator removed)`”).  The page-loading animation in the Firefox tab
 disappeared after the Google redirect page loaded, but '''before'''
 trac.tpo loaded.  The Trac page continued to load, and eventually replaced
 the redirect page.

 (Someone else will have to set up a redirect page to test this; the Google
 one refuses to perform the redirect silently with the `usg=` URL parameter
 removed, and I suspect (and hope) that the authenticator tag they gave me
 won't work for anyone else.)
