only quickly, to test whether the AND bug was present there too. since
the project isn't using most of the features that trigger the bugs I
listed, I'm a little loathe to leave my employer with snapshot code
(although they're going to have to bite the bullet and revise my setup at
some point anyhow)...if I have time the next few days, I'll give it a try.

when you get an error message, is can <blockquote><strong> be found

What I meant to say is that it's consistent within one query string, but I
couldn't figure out the rhyme or reason that governed which query strings
it affected.

spiffy. I look forward to it.

is there a way to search the DB for bugs reported, say, only for the 3.2
betas/snapshots?
thanks again,
