 * Sometime in the last two weeks, pingbacks from my blog stopped using the permalink
   structure and started showing up as path-to-wordpress/?p=x
 * It was sometime after the upgrade to 1.5.1, so I suspect it was the move to 1.5.1.1.
 * I can’t find anything with the new search, but in case anyone else has the same
   problem, I solved it by going into Options/Permalinks and just clicking on Update
   Permalink Structure without making any changes. I assume one of the changes in
   1.5.1.1 required a new rewrite rule.

 * Argh! It’s doing it again! Starting May 27… the day of the 1.5.1.2 update.
 * It looks like I need to redefine the permalink structure every time I upgrade?
