patches that need looking at.

Some recent tickets.

Database related:
#1105 Sessions table causes problems with MySQL
At least two people have reported this problem, and it sounds like a real pain.

Admin related tickets:
#1104 comment page buttons are on top
A CSS issue, the comment buttons overlap the top bar in the admin,
shouldn't be a hard fix for someone who knows about these things.

#1102 Pingback Excerpts Can Be Malformed HTML
Thoughts on the OP's solution? "A possible solution would be
temporarily replacing the target URI anchor with some unique string,
running strip_tags with no allowed tags, and then replacing the
placeholder with the target URI anchor."

#1097 get_subnet uses out of date classful rules abandoned in the early 90's
This seems valid to me. We can't reasonably tie a session to a subnet,
so we shouldn't try. This would mean dropping the subnet column from
the sessions table, and the code starting at line 85 of session.php,
as well as get_subnet(). If that's wrong, counter arguments would be
great.
