The least invasive fix I could think of. (456 bytes, patch)

Description Evan Nemerson 2008-12-05 01:44:11 UTC 
The location of the parameter value is set prior to decoding URL encoded characters. If a key contains a URL encoded value, the location changes, the key contains extra characters, and the beginning of the value is truncated.

That patch won't quite work because it would do the wrong thing if the parameter name had a %-encoded "=" in it. But I've fixed it now in svn, and added a regression test for that case. The fix will eventually make it into 2.24.3 and 2.25.3. Thanks for the bug report.
