Well, I’m glad to hear that its not a security bug in WP 2.0.3 It did prompt me to update my WP installs to 2.0.3 just in case there was for some reason a left-over 2.0.2 install running here.

Well at least they didn’t do anything too extreme (and the message they left was kind of amusing). I guess I could change my password once in a while…
