--------------------------+-----------------------------
 When adding a link to the blogroll (using wp-admin/link-add.php), square
 brackets in the link are removed, breaking the link.

 Example:

 {{{
 http://lokale-
 wochenzeitungen.de/index.php?id=485&tx_ttnews[pointer]=6&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=132583&tx_ttnews[backPid]=741&cHash=ee9c87874b
 }}}

 becomes

 {{{
 http://lokale-
 wochenzeitungen.de/index.php?id=485&tx_ttnewspointer=6&tx_ttnewstt_news=132583&tx_ttnewsbackPid=741&cHash=ee9c87874b
 }}}

 Workaround: Use URL-encoded links (%5B and %5D instead of [ and ]).
