If a redirect rule is created for the anonymous role, it appears to break cron.

Specifically, poorman's cron still functions, but calling cron.php from a web browser or crontab causes the request to redirect, and consequently cron does not run.

This appears to be roughly related to the issue here:
http://drupal.org/node/1285210

I have attached a patch that works for D7, but likely won't backport to D6.

Thanks for the fix, jake.mw. I've re-rolled the patch using git against the latest 2.x branch. I also made a minor tweak to prevent an index warning in PHP.

Cross-referencing #1470550: Using Front Page with installation profile as the concerned code is the same.

#1371120: Ignore non index.php requests is actually a more generic version of this one, so closing this one as a duplicate.
