[wp-testers] WordPress 3.0: problem with empty excerptsbeingreturned by the_excerpt()

[Administrator]

Sounds like that the update post function on post editting is not resetting 
the value.  I think Darren's code will "loop around" and re-check to see if 
the excerpt has 55 characters or less....if not then it will not display the 
excerpts box.  If so it resets to display the excerpt.

I'll test that as well on my local server and see if I can duplicate the 
problem for you.  Got a sneaking suspicion that I wanna test before saying 
what I'm thinking.
