 Behavior:

 If you put in http://www.domain.com in the "Wordpress Address" setting,
 then Wordpress will automatically do a redirect from http://domain.com to
 http://www.domain.com.  Many hosting packages allow the user to deal with
 www and non-www versions of their domain.  This will cause an infinite
 redirect loop if, for example, the "Wordpress Address" is set to
 http://www.domain.com and the hosting setting is set remove the www from
 the domain address-- to redirect http://www.domain.com to
 http://domain.com.

 Expected behavior:

 When setting the "Wordpress Address" setting, it should have a note there
 that the non-www version will automatically be redirected to the www
 version of your domain, or vice-versa, according to the situation.  Or it
 should have the option to enable or disable that redirect.
