 I was have a problem with Old slug redirects, and passed most of them off
 as server errors. But that is not the case.

 Currently on the site, I have a custom structure for posts:
 /blog/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

 Remember that 'blog' is a static page holding the posts as well. The
 example to explain the problem is this.

 Currently, I have this post, http://bugssite.org/blog/2008/07/28/left-4
 -dead-preview/. As you can see it goes to the post. The old slug for this
 post was "http://bugssite.org/blog/2008/07/28/left-4-dead/" but if you
 goto this link it shows the "single" page layout with nothing. It's not a
 '404' error as needed for old_slug checking.


 I think the reason is that because /blog/ is a 'static page' and it is
 valid. If you do "http://bugssite.org/2008/07/28/left-4-dead/" or even
 "http://bugssite.org/left-4-dead/" it redirects to the correct page of
 "http://bugssite.org/blog/2008/07/28/left-4-dead-preview/"
