I is *really* redirecting, or is it rewriting, or perhaps displaying
404.php using Apache's ErrorDocument directive?

If it's really redirecting (i.e. the URL in the address bar becomes
404.php) then this is a bad thing, because it means that your visitor
can't see what the "problem URL" was, so doesn't have an opportunity to
correct the address in the address bar.
