Sounds like that the update post function on post editting is not resetting
the value. I think Darren's code will "loop around" and re-check to see if
the excerpt has 55 characters or less....if not then it will not display the
excerpts box. If so it resets to display the excerpt.
I'll test that as well on my local server and see if I can duplicate the
problem for you. Got a sneaking suspicion that I wanna test before saying
what I'm thinking.

Subject: Re: [wp-testers] WordPress 3.0: problem with empty
excerptsbeingreturned by the_excerpt()
Okay, I start a post, fill in excerpt, save draft, delete excerpt, then
publish post, look at category archives and the post has an excerpt...
Apparently this only effects posts that have been published then had the
excerpt removed.
I'll give Darren's code a try after a bit, I had some vague ideas
involving
filtering that I want to look into also. Hopefully I can track down
something helpfull and post back some results.
Thanks for the help folks, it is greatly appreciated!

May I suggest to lock down where that is for the code junkies that you
create a new post, create an except and save to draft. Edit and remove
the
excerpt then publish. If a blank excerpt box comes up then the variable
must not be getting reset in the posting functions. Darren just sent you
some code that may "fix" the problem" Looks like the code says if the
string length of the excerpt is 55 or less then don't display. Anyway,
hoped this helped.
