[wp-edu] Superadmins redirect to main page admin panel when misspelling pages

[Covello, Steve]

Sounds like something that could be solved in an htaccess configuration,
but that is over my head. I tried your situation on my MS install and got
the same problem.

Still searching for a solution as well.
