Comment (by chrismou):

 I've just a had a similar ticket closed as a duplicate, although I'm not
 100% sure from the comments here that people have grasped what the problem
 is.

 If you need examples, check the info on
 http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6997

 To summarise, I create a page (lets call it "a").  The slug is also "a".
 I then create another page, give it a slug of "2008" and set "a" to be its
 parent.  When I try to navigate to /a/2008/, it simply shows me the
 content of "a", rather than "2008".  If I add anything else onto the end
 (ie a/2008/a/) it redirects me to a post written in 2008.

 I just seems to be the case that as soon as it sees 2008, it tries to
 guess what I want, rather than just checking to see if there is actually a
 page called 2008.
