just fired off an email to kalroth@gmail.com about what is happening, he probably has a better understanding about what can be done to solve this redirect problem as he is actively developing his fork of cgminer ...

There's not much I can do other than disable the reconnect code, which several individuals already have done.
I'll do a quick update of my github and binaries soon enough.

From a quick glance, it looks like someone found a way to send a spoofed* JSON packet to stratum pools, which makes the pool send a redirect request to (some of?) its clients.
It does not look like it's a bug in the client software, merely an unfortunate feature.
