 I'm trying to exclude more than one author from the posts list this way:

 {{{
 query_posts( array('author'=>'-1,4',...));
 }}}

 but only the first one author_id is taken into account. I found at wp-
 includes/query.php, function get_posts, line 2282:
 (I'm adding the $q!['author'] debug as a comments)
 {{{
  if ( strpos($q['author'], '-') !== false ) {          #DBG: $q['author']
 = "-1,4"
        $eq = '!=';
        $andor = 'AND';
        $q['author'] = explode('-', $q['author']);      #DBG: $q['author']
 = array("", "1,4")
        $q['author'] = (string)absint($q['author'][1]); #DBG: $q['author']
 = "1"
 } else {
        $eq = '=';
       $andor = 'OR';
 }
 $author_array = preg_split('/[,\s]+/', $q['author']);  #DBG: $author_array
 = array("1")

 }}}

 I think the (string)absint should be removed from line 2282, so the
 $author_array value will be array("1", "4") which is the result we want.
