 >I can't reproduce this.


 Really? are you sure? have you tried going further back? I think it
 depends on the number of posts.


 e.g. [[BR]]
 7 posts: 1st page ok (posts 1 and 2) WP must somehow think it's showing
 1-5, [[BR]]
 2nd page ok (posts 3 and 4) WP must think it's showing 6-7, [[BR]]
 3rd 404 error, I suppose because posts 10 to 15 don't exist (?)


 if I add an error_log($GLOBALS['wp_query']->query_vars['posts_per_page'])
 I can see it go from '2' on the pages that work to '5' when I get the 404
 error. Don't know if that matters.


 There is a number of forum post on the matter. This one for example

 > Are you sure that your {{{$query_string}}} variable consistently ends
 with an ampersand?


 I'm sure... I just forgot to add it when I submitted the ticket.
