<p class=MsoNormal>Actually, I went ahead and removed them from SVN because we
don't need<br>
malware of that sort in there.<br>

But if you want a copy, I did save the bad functions.php file, just<br>
for examination later. We may be able to detect this sort of thing in<br>
the uploader and prevent it from uploading.<br>
