 Wordpress has a feature build in to store arrays and objects into option
 values.

 This is done by transparently serializing on storing and unserialize on
 retrieving.

 The implementation is broken.

 Wordpress is unable to unserialize serialized option values if they
 contain a serialized representation of classes implementing the
 [http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.serializable.php PHP serializeable
 interface] (C instead of O).

 This is because the is_serialized() does not recorgnize that type of
 value.
