 You can find an in depth discussion of the issue here:

 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/232369

 In short, at the bottom of the main pages are links for Older/Newer posts
 which should look something like this:

 http://www.soundunreason.com/InkWell/?paged=2

 However, I have discovered a defect in how these links are being created
 by WP.  All other links generated by WP appear to be unaffected and
 function as expected.

 Here is the scenario.

 As you can see from the example above, the WP installation URL includes
 two capital letters (I and W).  This is true of the container and the
 server is set to ignore case so all is well.  However, if we substitute
 the lowercase letters thus:

 http://www.soundunreason.com/inkwell

 the resulting links generated by WP become:

 http://www.soundunreason.com/InkWell/inkwell/index.php?paged=2

 Clearly WP is adding in a superfluous folder hierarchy (and the
 unnecessary index.php file specification).  This breaks the link.  (The
 index.php does not effect the matter, but I include it because it is
 superfluous.)  If one removes the additional inkwell (either case) the URL
 functions as expected.

 No other link created by WP within the site is thus effected (or at least
 none I could find).  There must be something about the code which creates
 these two (Older/Newer) links which is causing this problem.

 I have done quite a bit of testing to ensure that the problem was not
 being caused by something else.  I have disabled all plugins, for
 instance, to no avail.

 I am happy to continue testing if that will be useful to you.  Please let
 me know how I can assist.
