There's an inconsistency in how PHP does its "magic quotes" mangling on 
the upload data, which we had overlooked. It doesn't usually make a 
different on Unix but Windows does silly things like using backslash for 
a directory separator, which screws everything up when we remove the 
"extra" backslashes.

A fix will be in 1.2.6; you can make the change manually in index.php:
