[wp-hackers] get_posts problem...

[Dan Larkin]

I could be mistaken, but it seems a bit odd to have "$wp_query =
$wp_old_query;" twice.  I believe the first one should be removed?

Note: I've been debugging an assembly language program (for decryption of a
transposition cipher) for the past two hours (it's still an ongoing process
and will probably last another 2-4), so my brain might just be a bit too
fried for its own good and you should take anything I say with a grain of
salt.
