Madhura,
this came from commit 03fdce14c4bb2ac1a91cfb17a4a63b454d811b2e by Lori
Lee, a GSoC 2010 student.
Maybe she remembers about it.
Yes Marc, having a look at the git history for the file I also noticed that. But I'm not sure why it needs to urldecode $_GET once again and infact it is causing the bug. Let's see if she replies.
