 * Hi, I have discovered a problem with the contents of my pages. I have found on
   a number of pages (and I think a number of older versions of wordpress) that 
   if the main body of text contains a percentage sign then when I go to publish
   or preview the page I get a error404 nothing found error. What is going on and
   how do I fix it?
 * This is a problem that has only surfaced recently and pages that had been working
   fine no longer do if they contain a percentage sign.
