Description
When posting a comment in an unpublished post preview window and then publishing the post the site will stop responding. Both the front and backends become unreachable.
The only way to resolve this issue is to find the relevant post in the database and remove it and/or deleting the blog.
This appears to be a bug (risk) with Wordpress MU 1.0 as well. Obviously this isn't something the average user would usually do but it is still a critical issue.

Replying to Viper007Bond:
Why in the hell would you post a comment in the preview window?
Why you would do it is irrelevant. It's possible to do, and it triggers a bug.
I confirm that the comment does not post successfully in the preview window, but was not able to break my site running on /trunk/
. The only thing "broken" was that the post preview iframe
went blank. After a refresh, it went back to normal, but the comment was not posted.

I experienced the behavior described by Jeremy.
Lowering severity to minor
corourke, can you explain what you mean by "Both the front and backends become unreachable."? Any diagnostic data?

Closing as WONTFIX for now. How preview is done is likely to be redesigned in future version.

How soon are we talking? If previews are going to be reworked after 2.2, then this should be worth fixing. While the idea of commenting in a preview post to me is stupid to say the least, I think we should add a check. You never know what those users do.
Why in the hell would you post a comment in the preview window?
