 * I replaced an URL in wp_options and the replacement took place in two locations
   of serialized data. Strangely, in one location, the s: entry was replaced correctly,
   in the other location it was left unchanged, which the screw up my table.
 * How can this be?

 * Very often here, the plugin can not change data inside serialized strings, there
   is not a default sql statement. Sorry.
