Thinking about it, this is a bug in web2py.

Let me be a little more concrete in my description.  I have a custom
form that submits to /app/default/entry?id=12.  In the form, there is
a hidden input tag named "id" with a value of "12".  Upon submission,
Python 2.5 looks like this:
request.vars.id = "12"
request.get_vars.id = "12"
request.post_vars.id = "12"

Python 2.6 looks like this:
request.vars.id = ["12", "12"]
request.get_vars.id = "12"
request.post_vars.id = ["12", "12"]

And what _should_ happen is this:
request.vars.id = ["12", "12"]
request.get_vars.id = "12"
request.post_vars.id = "12"

Am I making sense?  Massimo, is that expected behavior that we want
for web2py?
