Thanks for the reply Ari, I was sure I wasnt ghosting memories :)
Okay so it ended up even worse as it was also escaping the & delimiters between
fields so the result is unusable :(
I have just backed our cache server back down to pre5 (I never had pre6), until
this one is fixed; but in the mean time, I think that people will find that a
lot of form handling is back to being broken again :( :( :(
