 If the metadata of an image contains odd characters (e.g. © copyright
 symbol), the image will almost invariably insert into your post as full
 size.
 For some reason, this doesn't ''always'' occur.  I'm not sure why.

 I've tracked this bug to an older version and found that this problem was
 once fixed.

 /wp-admin/includes/image.php: lines 276, 278, 282, 284, 286:

 {{{
 $meta['credit'] = trim($iptc['2#110'][0]);
 }}}
 was changed in 2.6.2 to:
 {{{
 $meta['credit'] = utf8_encode(trim($iptc['2#110'][0]));
 }}}

 And so the problem seemed to disappear.  Unfortunetly, the problem seems
 to have come back.  I've applied this fix:
 {{{
 $meta['credit'] = htmlentities(utf8_encode(trim($iptc['2#110'][0])));
 }}}
 It ''seems'' to correct the bug.  Sadly, the copyright symbol no longer
 appears correctly.  I'm certain there's a better way to fix this.
