 Unable to duplicate. Steps attempted on a blog upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.

  * Ran upgrade.php.
  * Created new author.
  * unable to edit other users comments both through the dashboard, through
 options/manage comments (edit-comment.php), and through the
 edit_comment_link() in the theme.

 Some things to try...

  * Remove your wp-admin directory from your wordpress installation. (rm
 -rf wp-admin from your blogs home directory.)
  * Extract a fresh wordpress copy to a new sub directory.
  * Move the wp-admin from that directory to the your blogs home directory.
  * See if the problem still exists.
  * If problem still occurs try doing the same procedure with wp-includes.
