Turning off "magic quotes runtime" in PHP.ini fixed it, so I'm guessing the theory is correct.

Considering that the problem is fixed, I'd really rather not open the support ticket... don't want to get charged for a service I don't need. <img src="https://www.ubbcentral.com/boards/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> However, if you want to run some tests on my server for research (or other) purposes, then that's totally fine. If that's the case, just email me at [][email protected][/] and I'll give you the info you need.
