<p>Sometimes when I load CrossValidated, I get an error that the page has a redirect loop.  I can always resolve this by going to meta.stats.stackexchange.com and then reloading stats.stackexchange.com.  Sometimes the problem is reversed - the redirect loop is on meta.stats.se and can be fixed by going to stats.se.</p>

<p>I've only experienced in on CrossValidated - not on SO or any of the other SE sites I drop in on occasionally.  It also only happens at work, so it's most likely a consequence of some weird little bit of code unique to this site interacting with my organization's web security.</p>

<p>I don't expect this to be fixed for my sake - I can't even reproduce it reliably - but I thought I'd put my experience down for the record.</p>

<h3>TLDR:</h3>

<ul>
<li>Redirect loop prevents pages from loading</li>
<li>Fixed by loading meta.stats.se if stats.se is redirecting, and vice versa</li>
<li>Only at work</li>
<li>Only on stats.stackexchange.com and meta.stats.stackexchange.com</li>
<li>Chrome 20.0.1132.57 m</li>
<li>Windows XP Pro, Version 2002, SP 3</li>
</ul>

<p>Here's the Chrome error:</p>
