Comment:

 Again, I got some 'unexpected' behaviour on the category page. I don't
 know if this behaviour is a bug or not, so that's the reason I am posting
 this at this ticket.

 Scenario:
 You print $post (using print_r($post) for example) on a category page. The
 array $post is filled with data from the '''last post''' in the category.
 To be more precise, the last post that has '''post_type = post'''.

 I notice two things:
 1) Should the $post variable be set at all on the category pages?
 2) If so, why does it contain the latest post with post_type = post. It
 seems more logical to me to fill it with the latest post, of any
 post_type.

 Thanks in advance.
