#8758: Smilies cause comment moderation

 Due to the new (in WP 2.7) use of `apply_filters('comment_text',
 $comment)` in `function check_comment` in wp-includes/comment.php, smilies
 in comments get expanded into their URLs and counted as external links -
 and then compared against the option comment_max_links. This of course
 causes legitimate comments that just have "too many" smilies to be
 unnecessarily put into moderation.

 I don't know why this apply_filters call was added, but I suggest removing
 it (or somehow treating internal/smilie links differently) unless there
 are other good reasons for keeping it...
