I'm still having problems with pathinfo feeds in CVS.

Here's the lowdown:

blog URI: http://txfx.net/wp_test/  (I update it to most recent CVS just 
about daily.)

Settings:
Wordpress address: http://txfx.net/wp_test
Blog address: http://txfx.net/wp_test
Permalink structure: /index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Now notice on the main page that the link to the RSS on the sidebar is 
to http://txfx.net/wp_test//feed/rss2/  (double slash intentional)

That URI gives a 404.  Manually going to 
http://txfx.net/wp_test/index.php/feed/rss2/ just loads the blog's home 
page.

If I change the permalink structure to 
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ and implement the "universal rule" 
rewrite trick to convert to pathinfo versions, the URIs all look right, 
but none of the feed ones work, just like with Craig's 1.2 install.

When converting to old mod_rewrite, everything works as it should with 
feeds.
