Fixed in CVS.
Comment 2 Paul Campbell 2004-10-11 04:43:58 UTC
Confirmed: emerged successfully.

Thanks.

Are you sure this patch is appropriate? I get a redirection limit exceeded error when I visit wp-admin/, and reverting the effect of this patch fixes the error.

I suspect the patch should not have been copied over, but simply removed.
Comment 4 Stuart Herbert (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-10-15 04:16:55 UTC
The patch hasn't been copied over.  Without it, I get exactly the same error that you get.

Best regards,
Stu
