 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  the_post, wp_query, scope, post
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 This happens when running multiple loops in a page.  If a new WP_Query
 object is created, $post should only be changed within the scope of that
 object, right?

 To replicate:
 {{{
 // in a template called from a page

 echo $post->ID; // the ID of the page
 $new_obj = new WP_Query();
 $new_obj->query("some valid querystring");
 if ($new_obj->have_posts()) : while ($new_obj->have_posts()) :
 $new_obj->the_post();
  // .. do your loop stuff
 endwhile; endif;
 echo $post->ID; // not the same as the first one
 }}}

 Suggested patch attached.
