[development] form_api: same form called multiple times, wrong form_state values

[Randy Fay]

There are two problems that I know of with multiple forms on a page in D6:

http://drupal.org/node/386678 (fixed in D7): If any form uses
$form_state['storage'] then it destroys $_POST, causing the other(s) not to
be able to submit. This one has a demo module that you may be able to use to
see if you're having the same problem.

http://drupal.org/node/384992 (still open in D7): In an AJAX/AHAH form,
form_clean_id() (D6) or drupal_html_id (D7) doesn't work right, so you end
up having to use hook_forms() to make the form_id of each form different.
