WP 2.0.3 comment problem

Going against my usual restraint of waiting at least a week before I jump on an upgrade, I upgraded my blog to WP 2.0.3 yesterday, and everything seemed fine until I went to edit a comment I had made.

For some reason, if I edit a comment with a contraction or a set of quotes, it will add a hash (\).

Here is an example of the initial comment:

test post:

you’re insane. ”here we are”. Aren’t we foolish.

Now when I go into edit the comment by adding a line, it appears like this:

test post:

you\’re insane. \”here we are\”. Aren\’t we foolish.

And now I add this line through the edit…

I cannot get rid of the hash marks.

I posted a test post here so you can see what is going on.

Any help on this will be appreciated
