 * Okay… What changed in WordPress 2.7 in relation to add_submenu_page()?
 * I develop the WP125 plugin, which creates a top-level “Ads” menu with three submenus.
   It worked perfectly in 2.6, 2.5, and 2.4, but in the 2.7 trunk the submenus don’t
   link properly (oddly the top-level one does fine).
 * For example, the Add/Edit page is supposed to be this: `/wp-admin/admin.php?page
   =wp125_addedit` but in 2.7 trunk the link target is `/wp-admin/wp125/wp125.php?
   page=wp125_addedit`.
 * The relevant portion of the plugin source is:
 *     ```
       add_menu_page("125x125 Ads", "Ads", MANAGEMENT_PERMISSION, __FILE__, "wp125_write_managemenu");
       add_submenu_page(__FILE__, "Manage 125x125 Ads", "Manage", MANAGEMENT_PERMISSION, __FILE__, "wp125_write_managemenu");
       add_submenu_page(__FILE__, "Add/Edit 125x125 Ads", "Add/Edit", MANAGEMENT_PERMISSION, 'wp125_addedit', "wp125_write_addeditmenu");
       add_submenu_page(__FILE__, "125x125 Ad Settings", "Settings", MANAGEMENT_PERMISSION, 'wp125_settings', "wp125_write_settingsmenu");
       ```
   
 * What’s going on here? How should I fix this? It needs to work in the upcoming
   WP 2.7, as well as in previous releases.

 * Trunk is a funny thing all right… It’s working again today. Something must’ve
   been fixed. 😀
