 Hello,

 It think I may have found a bug. Now here's what I noticed:

 I use a clean wordpress install (latest version 3.5.1 without plugins or
 themes) with permalinks activated (post name).

 In any category without child categories, when I type
 "www.mysite.com/?cat=2" in the browser, I automatically get redirected to
 the category's permalink: "www.mysite.com/categoryname/"

 The behavior is different in categories with child categories: automatic
 redirection to permalink is not working. I type "www.mysite.com/?cat=3"
 and
 I do not automatically get redirected to the correct permalink. (I stay on
 "www.mysite.com/?cat=3".

 There's how to provoke the bug:

 * Install the latest wordpress version 3.5.1
 * Create a category with sub-categories
 * Create another category without sub-categories
 * Activate permalinks setting using option "Post name" in Settings >
 Permalinks
 * type http://www.mysite.com/?cat=ID - replace ID with either a category
 without
 children or with children
