Yet Another Posting Problem

I have a problem: The site hangs when I attempt to publish a post.

Here is a list of things I have tried and their results:

Deactivate all plugins, reset folder via FTP: No Effect

Revert to default theme: No Effect

Upgrade to 3.0: No Effect

Rinse and repeat multiple times: No Effect

Manually Set the post to ‘published’ in the database: The permalinks pointed back to the homepage!

But here is the kicker, I can create a post with the same title and just “test” as the content just fine

I can’t see any problems with the HTML of the post, but i’ll post it here anyway:
