General category always assigned

[indigojo_uk]

When submitting a new entry with an XML-RPC client, whatever category I choose, General is assigned along with it. This has been reported on the Wordpress and ecto support fora, specifically:

​http://wordpress.org/support/topic/9698
​http://bb.infinite-sushi.com/viewtopic.php?t=719

The problem has been traced to an else block which has been inserted into xmlrpc.php at line 583:

`else {
$post_category[] = 1;
}`

This would appear to be unncessary, because General / Uncategorized is automatically assigned when no category is specified. I checked this myself with both the WP web interface and with ecto and w.bloggar.

Am having similar issues with ecto and am in contact with others using other remote blogging tools finding the same problem.
