 shows all links in all instances

 It appears that the problem is not in wp_get_linksbyname it's in
 wp_get_links (bookmark-template.php).

 parse_str($args) messes up the first var it's trying to parse in $args
 because it starts with something like '/?varname=var'.  So, in the case
 where it's trying to look up a category, $category never gets set and will
 lookup all categories.  My temp fix was to strip out everything up to the
 '?' and it now works as it should.

 A quick grep through the code base show lots of parse_str($args) and I
 would imagine that this problem would also be happening there.
