Description
Since this morning links are messed up when saving or publishing a post. It looks like a mysql problem. So i went for support to brinkster, my host. I had a chat with support earlier today and this is what I got:
Tim: You will need to upgrade WordPress. We just patched a security hole within MySQL yesterday and Wordpress seems to not like the fix.
Tim: Please view the following link:

I do need help, lots of it. I have two blog applications running and now posts or comments with links (posted or modified after last midnight) won't work. It seems that links are spoiled when saving or publishing only.
I have version 2.0.2. Other people (see the forums) with 2.0.3 are having the same problem.
Is there a fix?
Thx,
Juan
NO_BACKSLASH_ESCAPES will break WP. Backslash becomes a normal character rather than an escape character when that flag is set. This will cause queries to fail, as you have found out.
