   I'm using the Sidebar Login widget on Wordpress MU. It's been working a treat, until the most recent upgrade.

   When logged in, three links appear in the sidebar:

   Dashboard
   Profile
   Logout

   The logout link still works, but the other two - Dashboard and Profile - now seem to present an extended (and wrong) URL. It shows the actual URL "repeated":
   http://otl.side.wa.edu.au/blogs/po/%5C%22http://otl.side.wa.edu.au/blogs/po/wp-admin/%5C%22
   Clearly a string is not being cleared and updated correctly. Visiting another page on the blog and then returning appends more to the URL:
   http://otl.side.wa.edu.au/blogs/po/%5C%22http://otl.side.wa.edu.au/blogs/po/wp-admin/%5C%22/%5C%22http://otl.side.wa.edu.au/blogs/po/wp-admin/%5C%22
   I think I know how to hack the PHP, but I'd rather identify the cause.
   Any ideas?

   Fixed it. Seems the database for the two blogs affected (but not the "master template" database in WordpressMU) had gone awry. Manually editing the loggedin-links records to remove backslashes before and after the URLs brought it back to life. So, obviously something peculiar to MU. Hence the silence on this post.
