 Replying to [comment:18 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > I hate to be punting this back to 2.9.1, but this ticket is the main
 reason that RSS widgets have caused so much trouble in WP 2.9. It *should*
 get fixed before we even think about rushing WP 2.9.1 in the wild; or at
 the very least, we should have an acceptable workaround.

 In order to understand this in more detail are you able to provide answers
 to the following questions:

  * Is this a behavioural change between SimplePie 1.1.3 and SimplePie 1.2
 that means 2.9 is worse than 2.8?
  * Does a 2.8 install choke in the same way?
  * Is there an easy step by step reproduction method for the issue?
  * Have you tried SimplePie 1.1.3 + WP 2.9 to see if it helps?
