6210	Impossible to add widgets on some platforms	mdawaffe	anonymous	"The new multiwidgets use {{{{time() . incrementor}}}} as their widget ids in order to avoid collisions.

Those ids are over {{{2^33}}} which, on some platforms, causes {{{array_map()}}} inside {{{add_magic_quotes( $_POST )}}} or {{{stripslashes_deep( $_POST )}}} to mis-map those large array keys.

The end result is a mismatch between array keys and array values when trying to add widgets.  The addition fails.

Attached changes the widget ids to be {{{{( time() - 1199145600 ) . incrementor}}}} (1199145600 is January 1st, 2008).  This gives us about 27 years of breathing room before we run into the bug again (at least on the {{{2^33}}}-limited box I was testing with)."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	2.5	General	2.5	blocker	fixed	has-patch commit
