[wp-hackers] strange get_posts behaviour in 2.1.1

[Otto]

In other words, this:

$news = get_posts("numberposts=".$howmany);
foreach($news as $post):
setup_postdata($post);
echo "<li><a href='".get_permalink()."'>".the_title('','',false)."</
a> <small>(".get_the_time('d/m',false).")</small>"
endforeach;

Works.
