 Issue after an update - dont know if was the 4.1.3 or later...

 Its not possible to edit, delete or change comments where post ID is zero
 or post has been deleted.
 This causes two issues for my clients:
  - One client has a plugin that creates "fishing reports" based on
 comments, and these are all collected by post ID being zero.
  - Second client has issues because the "actions bar" not to be displayed
 on the comments where post isn't found - so he cant delete/clean old
 comments.

 So far i figured this out:
 You guys added this on line 1147 in wp-includes/capabilities.php:
 {{{
 $caps[] = 'do_not_allow';
 }}}




 Is it possible to add two lines after line 1262:
 {{{
 if ( empty( $post ) )
  break;
 }}}
