[wp-hackers] What would strip $_POST before 'init' runs?

[Gavin Pearce]

In Firefox you can use the Net tab in Firebug to view page requests.
(Live HTTP headers will provide some more detail also. Chrome's
developer toolbar has a similar 'Network' feature.)

If it is redirecting, you should see your original POST to the server,
the server responding with a 302/301, and then your browser making a
request to another page. Remember to press the Persist button (next to
Clear), otherwise it's going to reset the tab when the redirect happens.

Looking at where it's redirecting you to/from might give you a clue -
but either way, yes, run through your plugins one by one to narrow it
down. If a redirect is happening that's why your POST data is clearing,
though could also be a plugin simply unsetting $_POST ...

I disabled all of the plugins and it still happens - I've glanced
through the theme and didn't see anything obvious.

Any suggestion on how I can check for a redirect that isn't obvious to
me?
 Is there some server setting that could be involved?  To me it looks
like a redirect of some sort but I am not sure how to follow the
execution and see what is happening.
