I made some modifications to the 'retrieve user data' plugin so it helps
with this problem a little more (I.E. it now saves a bug log for every
time it has to fix the user data) but I'm still wondering *why* this is
happening. Does *anyone* have *any* idea? I disabled identities, so the
users arent doing this themselves. I grepped to find what might be calling
the setPref function on the full_name and email_address and found that
src/options_identities.php is the only file that does this

       setPref($data_dir, $username, 'full_name', $full_name);

I'm stuck and any help would be appreciated.
