 There's something - not sure exactly what, given that I can't read a
 Gzipped JavaScript library - wrong with the included version of jQuery,
 1.1.4. A previously working script (on a plugin-generated admin page) that
 requires jQuery's $ function (the alias for the jQuery object) no longer
 works, and Firebug gives me this error:

 $ is not a function
 [Break on this error] $(document).ready(function() {

 You can see my script here:

 http://tarski.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/library/options.js

 I have tried including several different versions of jQuery, downloaded
 from the jQuery website. The 1.1.4 uncompressed and compressed versions
 work fine (there are no errors and my script runs as intended), as do the
 1.2 uncompressed and compressed version. The error only occurs when using
 the jquery.js file included with WordPress.

 I also thought my WordPress installation might not have downloaded that
 file correctly, so I deleted it and updated again from the repository (I'm
 running the svn trunk). That produced the same problems as before. My
 conclusion is that the included jQuery file may be defective in some way.
 I'd appreciate it if people could test this out and corroborate my
 findings. I know there was a plan to switch to jQuery 1.2 and that ought
 to fix the problem, but since it's not been done yet (and may not be until
 the next version?) a fix for this - if it is indeed a WordPress problem -
 would be most welcome.
