Still getting cookie error messages, even after upgrade to 2.3.1. WordPress is in sub-folder so the WordPress address (URL) is different than Blog address (URL).

ERROR: The username field is empty.
ERROR: The password field is empty.
Also get this after logging out:

- Milestone changed from 2.3.2 to 2.4
- Owner changed from anonymous to westi
- Status changed from new to assigned
I guess this issue is caused by a plugin but we still need to fix it in the core (2.4 first and then backport to branches/2.3).
I have seen this with Ryan Duff's contact form plugin which sets up stuff in $_POST without checking for a POST request.
Other plugins may do the same.
Please note that in thread marked http://wordpress.org/support/topic/144079, reporting user has WordPress install in main folder; WordPress address (URL) is same as Blog address (URL).
Also user xknown seems to have offered a patch that successfully stops the error ...
