SEO URLs and Googlebot Bug

I've been testing this afternoon and I think there's a problem with SEO URLs for robots.  Using Firefox I cleared all session cookies, disabled all cookies and set my user-agent to be the same as Googlebot, to emulate how it would behave.  The SEO version of the URLs are not displayed in the page, although if I click on them the browser is redirected to the SEO version.

I've tracked the problem down to function ob_sessrewrite in QueryString.php.  'if (defined('SID') && SID != '')' is true so it just does the single $buffer = preg_replace, rather than the chunk that does beautify_urls and inserts the Seo4Smf copyright.  To get around it I've taken out that last 'if' so it always does all 4 $buffer = preg_replace, but I'm not sure if that's a valid fix.

I've just checked you forum and it is doing the same - the links are non-SEO but when you click them they redirect to the SEO version.  The change I made to QueryString.php seems to be working ok - I've not been able to break it and Googlebot has only been following SEO links since.

This a smf problem. SMF doesn't work for IIS or apache with php_cgi. So they need to look if all this options are checked ... Probably it's a bug ... I will look forward at tis problem.
