it’s about this part of code in the comment template:
<?php if ( get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID ) : ?>
You must be <a>/wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php the_permalink(); ?>">logged in</a> to post a comment.
<?php else : ?>
but it doesn’t redirect to the post, it goes to a 404.
That code is correct. It’s not supposed to redirect to the post, it’s supposed to display the login screen with a hidden redirect, so that when you login, it takes you back to the post you came from.
Check that your wp-login.php file has not been messed up in some way. Also look and see if you have any plugins that may mess with the login process.

I only have 6 plugins: Akismet, Democracy, Live Comment Preview, WP_Amazon, WordPress Database Backup, and Search Excerpt…
I just upgraded to 2.0.3 so the wp-login.php should be perfect…
what am I missing?
What happens after you temporarily disable Live Comment Preview?

Why does it redirect to the post? I didn’t mess with any of the templates… I just upgraded…
You have some kind of URL Rewriting problem. Either in your htaccess file or with your host or something along those lines.
This link works:
http://www.bozzysworld.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http
This link does not:
http://www.bozzysworld.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http:
Note that this fails as well:
http://www.bozzysworld.com/wp-rss2.php?test=http:
Which is ridiculous, of course, since wp-rss2.php doesn’t use the “test” parameter.
You have some form of URL Rewriting going on that is breaking these links.

This is what’s in my htaccess file:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
that was generated by wordpress, so it shouldn’t causing any trouble.
that’s all that is in the file.
bozzy: Well, then something is wrong with your host’s configuration. Check with them.

Yup, that’s what the problem was and my host fixed it.
