[support] Failure to unpublish

[Steve Hays]

I have encountered a strange problem in Drupal 6.  I can't create  
nodes that remain unpublished (through deselection of the "publish"  
checkbox); nor can I "unpublish" a published document by selecting and  
unpublishing it in the content list.  When I give the command, I get a  
successful update message, but the item remains "published."

I have user/1 privileges.  I think it cannot be a privileges issue.

Am I missing something obvious?
