 * I upgraded to 1.2 yesterday, and everything seemed to be working happily. I had
   to clear out my cookies in Safari to login happily, but no worries. Then, I tried
   to login as the admin user today, and when I hit “login” from the logn page, 
   I was happily transported back to the login page with no error message. When 
   I clicked the “forgot password” link and entered the admin/pass, it came back
   with an error saying that there is no user by that name. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

 * Check the capitalization. If nothing else works, try peeking in the users table
   in the database using phpMyAdmin.
