 In our environment we have the field "permalink_structure" set up
 automatically on installation due to our many wordpress installations.
 Around 25-30 a day.  The bug arrives because everything installs correctly
 but when you select any page besides the home page you are met with a 404
 error.  However if you go to the "permalinks" tab in the wordpress
 interface and then go back to your site...the site works correctly.

 Therefore the fix is just to visit the "permalinks" tab.  You don't even
 have to click save changes, only visit the page.  Somehow our "custom
 structure" of "/%category%/%postname%.html" upon installation isn't
 activated until we actually visit the page.  This is a problem...because
 our blog is set up automatically with database scripts and we don't have
 time to manually go to each wordpress installation and click on the
 "permalinks" tab.  Thanks
