Not a programmer, so bear with me --
I was cleaning up a post I published about 11:00 AM on 12/11/2008, and
this was after midnight (so by the blog clock was now 12/12/2008). I did
some small edits (I work in HTML mode) and when I updated, I found what
looked like an iframe window embedded in my post single page, truncating
the remainder of the post and displaying in it what appeared to be the
source code for the page. I reverted to a revision I did before midnight,
and everything appeared fine. I tried editing again and this time the
post code for the page duplicated about two-thirds of the way down the
page, and displayed as such when saved. I reverted again, and it appears
normal.
Not being a programmer, I wonder if this is due to editing a post the day
after it was created.
The post was created in 2.6.5, and then edited in 2.7. I did edit prior
to midnight in 2.7, and I did not notice any issues.
Website is http://www.danielbrenton.com. Post in question is

I could not figure out how to attach a text file of the post HTML code of
the revision where I first noticed the problem to this ticket. Whatever
caused this issue appears to have duplicated the code HTML I wrote several
times, truncating the code HTML and repeating after this line:
{{{

my own rules again, but this one's worth it. The unnamed "help meet"
("help mate," as in <em>King James Bible</em>-speak) at <em><strong>An

}}}
I have no idea where the:
<textarea rows='15' cols='40' name='content' tabindex='2' id='content'>
part of this came from. It recurs several times through the body of post
HTML, and then the post actually finishes the way I wrote it.
I have not attempted to duplicate the problem, so as farr as this non-
programmer knows I admit it may be some kind of database corruption issue.
Any input would be appreciated.
