 * In the past few days I’ve had reports that users weren’t able to access my site.
   They were just getting a blank page.
 * I checked the error_log and found this.
 * [22-Nov-2014 22:07:41 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file
   in /mysite/wp-includes/post.php on line 235
 * I was running v4.0 and I force upgraded to v4.0.1 via softaculous, that seems
   to of fixed the issues. Which is great for now.
 * My concern is what caused this.
 * In my site root I found a .maintenance file and I couldn’t access the the upgrade
   folder.
 * I wonder if it was the site trying to auto update this security update which 
   that failed.
 * Has anyone else come across this error?

 * I am not too sure where the link is but there was a link floating around that
   explained there was an issue in rare cases where some severs/hosts was butting
   heads with something in the automatic update and some files were not being transferred
   fully or not at all.
 * I good place to check would be the current tickets. I know the post about the
   automatic updates was made by Ipstenu a few days ago but it seems to have slipped
   away.
