 * Just downloaded 09-05 nightly and get the following error when a user (including
   admin) tries to change their password:
    Database error: [Unknown column ‘user_description’
   in ‘field list’] UPDATE wp_users SET user_firstname=’joe’, user_pass=MD5(‘joe1′),
   user_lastname=’bloggs’, user_nickname=’joe’, user_icq=”, user_email=’joe@bloggs.
   com’, user_url=’[http://&#8217](http://&#8217);, user_aim=”, user_msn=”, user_yim
   =”, user_idmode=’nickname’, user_description = ”, user_nicename = ‘joe’ WHERE
   ID = 2 ERROR: couldn’t update your profile… Also, when you try to login with 
   the wrong username or password you don’t get an error, it just returns you to
   the login screen.
