Comment:

 I haven't confirmed this with anything earlier or later than version 2.6
 (including 2.6.2).

 This isn't just a problem with pages and years, but also with any postname
 that is four digits and used as a permalink element. I'm converting a site
 from a custom system and decided to use the unique numeric ids from the
 existing system as the postname in the database rather than using a date
 based approach with some other postname Here is the permalink structure:

 /content/%postname%/

 Here are some example urls:

 {{{
 http://www.site.com/content/1/
 http://www.site.com/content/10/
 http://www.site.com/content/100/
 http://www.site.com/content/1000/
 http://www.site.com/content/10000/
 }}}

 All of those work correctly except the one with four digits where postname
 = 1000. I can use this URL ({{{http://www.site.com/?p=1000}}}) with
 permalinks turned off and it displays the correct post, but not the one
 using the custom permalink structure outlined above. Since I have about
 42K posts, that means that roughly 20 percent of them return 404 not found
 pages.

 It appears that the custom permalink structure I entered is being ignored
 in favor of providing a year-based permalink so...

 {{{http://www.site.com/content/1000/}}}

 ...doesn't work because I don't have any posts added in the year 1000.
 However, I do have posts from 2007 so this displays posts from the year
 2007...

 {{{http://www.site.com/content/2007/}}}

 ...not post ID 2007 (postname = 2007). I hope this gets resolved in the
 trunk and I might be able to do it myself if someone could point me in the
 right direction in rewrite.php.
