Description

When commenting for the second or later time on a WP blog, the restored user information comes back incorrectly. My last name, O'Leary, is changed into O\\\'Leary. It appears that the apostrophe is being escaped, then both the backslash and apostrophe are escaped, before being stored in the cookie. A backslash leads to the same effect. Each comment posted leads to another round of escapes.

Old cookies will still show the extra slashes. Delete them.
