Comment (by jberthon):

 I have also the problem. My custom permalink is:
 /%category%/%postname%[[BR]]
 With Wordpress 2.1.2 and Apache/2.2.3 (Ubuntu) mod_python/3.2.10
 Python/2.5 PHP/5.2.1 this is not working. I mean on the front page, the
 links are displayed correctly for all articles, but when clicking on an
 article I get a HTTP 404 error.

 One "workaround" was to add /index or /index.php before my custom string
 (any other entries fails). So if I put /index.php/%category%/%postname%
 then my permalinks are all correct, by that I mean that I can click and
 view the articles instead of the 404 error page.
