Comment (by wpmuguru):

 Replying to [comment:15 jrfoell]:

 In the full htaccess above the rewrite condition

 `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-(content|admin|includes).*$`

 will only be met if the requested path begins with //. The RewriteBase
 directive tells the rewrite engine to start rewriting after the base
 value.

 Secondly, that .htaccess isn't what I suggested to Pippin. What I
 suggested was

 `
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^wp-(content|admin|includes).*$
 RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $2 [L]
 `

 Looking at the original rule it would probably be easier to remove the ?
 from the original rule

 `
 RewriteRule ^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*) $1 [L]
 `
