 Symptom:

 After upgrading (or attempting) to 2.8.1, when browsing to <my wp site
 >/wp-admin, the system improperly re-directed to '<my wp site>?step=2/wp-
 admin/upgrade.php?_wp_http_referer='

 This was caused by a prior step (unable to determine which) in the wp
 upgrade process placing the string '<my wp site>?step=2' in the
 'wp_options' table in the database, thus destroying all references to the
 site because admin_url will then create incorrect references.

 This is because on SunOS it doesn't populate REQUEST_URI instead you get
 the following:
 {{{
     REQUEST_URI: (i.e. Null)
     SCRIPT_NAME: /wordpress/index.php
     PHP_SELF: /wordpress/index.php
     SERVER_NAME: stevenmbooth.com
 }}]

Comment:

 Updating description and moving to 2.9 for now as 2.8.1 is about to be
 released and I don't believe this is a regression.

 Once we have a working fix we can consider a backport to 2.8 branch for a
 later 2.8.x release.
