   It appears when I save a draft and then go to edit/save again. It shows up just
   above the preview post and although it doesn’t seem to have any bad effect on
   the post, I would just like to get rid of it. `WordPress database error: [You
   have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL
   server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1] SELECT post_content
   FROM wp_posts WHERE id= Using 1.3a5
