Comment:

 I can reproduce this.  Here's what's happening:

 1. `$_POST` comes in with sybase quotes (e.g. `Charlie''s little cat`)
 1. magic_quotes_sybase is disabled
 1. stripslashes() is run on `$_POST` which respects sybase quotes
 settings.
   a. With sybase quotes disabled (current behavior), stripslashes is
 looking for `\'` instead of `''` and this is not converted correctly.
   a. With sybase quotes still enabled (@summerblue's solution),
 stripslashes is looking for `''`, and the input is converted properly
 (e.g. `Charlie''s -> Charlie's`), ''then'' magic_quotes_sybase is disabled

 I tested this solution on all possible combinations of magic_quotes_gpc,
 magic_quotes_runtime, and magic_quotes_sybase with no problems.
