 the change made in rev [4382] caused a problem when trying to set a non-
 string as a meta_value.
 There should be a check made to see if the object is a string before doing
 a stripslashes.

 ie.
 {{{
 if ( !is_array($meta_value) && !is_object($meta_value) )
     $meta_value = stripslashes($meta_value);
 }}}

 I found this because it was making the Administrator capabilites be
 'Array' in the db instead of the serialized array of capabilities it was
 supposed to be set to.
