 In wp-includes/post-template.php the function the_content() has an
 unexpected string replacemenet:

 {{{
 function the_content( $more_link_text = null, $strip_teaser = false) {
         $content = get_the_content( $more_link_text, $strip_teaser );
         $content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content );
         $content = str_replace( ']]>', ']]>', $content );
         echo $content;
 }
 }}}

 This makes no sense at all and breaks CDATA blocks. Why?

 Suggested solution: Remove the line

 {{{
         $content = str_replace( ']]>', ']]>', $content );
 }}}

 and implement a filter to do this replacement where neccessary.
