# Error in functions.php get_post_meta()

 * I tried loging in to trac to write a ticket, but my login isn’t working.
 * When I called get_post_meta in my plugin it kept only returning a single string
   instead of an array when I could see that there was more than one postmeta row
   in the DB with the same key. I looked at the function and found a problem when
   fetching from the postmeta cache.
 * line 475 which reads:
    return maybe_unserialize( $post_meta_cache[$post_id][$
   key][0] );
 * ought to read:
    return maybe_unserialize( $post_meta_cache[$post_id][$key]);
