+I've had this problem too, but with my track record of reporting OpenID bugs
+I thought it best if I held my tongue. I usually experience this the first
+time I sign in on any ikiwiki installation of {ikiwiki.kitenet, ikidev,
+betacantrips}, and I think re-logging in always works. --Ethan

+## the return of the nasty bug
+
+Hmmmmm, looks like it is not entirely fixed. I am getting it on my own
+[blog](http://blog.tobez.org/). Just upgraded to 3.20110430, same same.
+I am using custom openid with redirection to myopenid.com.
+Please tell me if you need more info. The same openid worked fine to login to *this* site to post this.

+I am getting the same error here with ikiwiki 3.20120629 (wheezy). I had trouble with ikiwiki-hosting configurations of OpenID, basically related to the `openid_realm` parameter - which I had to comment out. But now it seems to fail regardless. --[[anarcat]]
