The second one's not a bug, but I take your point in re: PHP5 and bugs.

Are you saying, though, that there is no utility to moving to PHP5?
Is WP consigned to using increasingly decrepit code?  I don't know how
to interpret your posting of a few bugs in this discussion. Are there
not bugs and annoyances with 4 that have been worked around countless
times before?
