#9963: get_permalink() returns wrong link after The Loop

 I'm using wp_logout_url(get_permalink()) in a sidebar widget to let users
 logout and return to the current page.
 When viewing a single post, get_permalink() returns the posts' correct
 link.

 However, on my home page, on archive pages, and on search results pages,
 get_permalink() returns the link of the last post in The Loop used to
 display posts in the page. I've checked both my theme and the default
 theme to see if I'd screwed up The Loop, but the default theme does this
 as well.

 I am unsure if it worked correctly in 2.7. It's been a few months since I
 played with WordPress and I just started again with 2.8 a few days ago.
 However, I'm sure I would have noticed this before, so I'm putting this as
 a bug in 2.8.

 If I take out The Loop on my homepage, it returns the link to my latest
 post.
