in [6716],

	585 function pings_open( $post_id=NULL ) { 
 	586 
 	587	    $_post = get_post($post_id); 
 	588	 
 	589	    $open = ( 'open' == $post->ping_status ); 
 	590	    return apply_filters( 'pings_open', $open, $post_id ); 

$post in line 585 should be $_post.

$post in line 585 should be $_post.

Looking at that, Its supposed to be $post_id, As in, You pass the post id in, then it fetches that post, and checks the ping status.

If get_post() is passed a null post_id it will use the global post.
