 * Hello, I’ve recently encountered a problem where the entire site would crash 
   if I attempted to log in to PhpMyAdmin. I managed to fix the problem and would
   like to post what I found out here.
 * First, I’m using v2.2.2 and had no problems with 2.2.1. The root URL of my site
   is configured as the blog directory and I’m using standard year/month/day/post
   permalinks with a static front page.
 * I did a little digging and found that the permalinks were causing the problem.
   To fix the problem I added this line to the .htaccess file:
 * RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
 * This filters out symlinks in addition to files and directories.
 * If this is already known but not used due to side effects, please let me know.
