 Doing a clean install of WP 2.8.5 does not initialize the wp_user_level
 value for the "admin" user in the database. It should be set, and set to a
 value of "10".

 This was previously reported for 2.1.x and apparently fixed, but the fix
 seems to have disappeared.

 The lack of the user level for the default admin user is that some plugins
 prohibit administration. Current workaround is to either manually create
 the entry in the database or to create an alternate admin user (for which
 the wp_user_level field is properly created and set to 10).
