 Okay, there are a handful of people, MOSTLY on IIS, who are having
 permalinks problems.

 Basically categories don't work. They're finding out when they use
 /%category%/%postname%/ for permalinks.  If they use default (ugly) URLs,
 it's fine.  If they use pretty permalinks with
 /%year%/%month%/%day%/%postname%/ the post URLs work but the category ones
 do not.

 I can't reproduce it, but so far I've noted

 If they use IIS, this often fixes it
 http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalink-fix-disable-canonical-
 redirects-pack/

 It manifest as EITHER 404s OR a refresh-loop.

 I'm not sure if it's really a bug or not, and since I can't reproduce it,
 I'm gonna list the slew of posts with this problem.  Yes, they've tested
 with the default themes, and that doesn't help.
