Description

When attempting to change the category of a link (e.g., to remove it from my blogroll), upon clicking "update", the following message occurs:

Are you sure you want to do this?
Please try again.

The same error occurs in both FF and Safari.

This message is the result of a bad nonce.

However, I just tested the form and I was unable to reproduce. Additionally, the code appears to be generating and confirming the same nonces.

The main thing that causes this is a form that was opened to too long, beyond the 12/24 hour window. Or I suppose a conflicting plugin, or a form submission that isn't properly sending a referer.
