In IE6 SP1 I see it passed to a new broswer window then everything before
the last * is cut.

But that would not be foolproofing it
http://rd.yahoo.com/hotjbs/*http://example.com
Does the exact same

and abit of testing lets you conclude that
rd probably stands for redirect

go to yahoo!'s homepage and Look under:
 Yahoo! Premium Services
you will see:
Personal Web Site
 ? Sports Audio

both of these function the same way
