You should find out, if Apache or TYPO3 redirects you to this invalid 
domain (with the "c" at the end).

- Rename the file .htaccess in DocumentRoot to something like 
"_htaccess_disabled" (to deactivate it for the time being). Then try again.

- Review Apache's configuration files: start with the virtual host file, 
investigate every line that could do a redirect such as "RewriteRule", 
"Redirect", etc. If this does not help, check other Apache config files 
such as httpd.conf, files in directory conf.d, etc.

I have never seen anything like that in TYPO3. What exactly do you mean 
by "When I manually correct it..."? Do you remove the letter "c" from 
the address in your location bar in your browser? So, for example:

http://www.example.comc/index.php
becomes:
http://www.example.com/index.php

What exactly is the domain? Is it a valid public domain on a remote 
server or local host or internal network?

I bet my money, that this has something to do with the webserver, not 
TYPO3 :-)
