Badly formed call to node_load()

This isn't worth making a patchfile for. So I'll just type it here:

Original line 36 of the latest (June 29th, 2006) CVS release:

$node = node_load(arg(1));

This is attempting to pass a numeric variable to a function that is expecting an array.

$node = node_load(array('nid' => arg(1)));

The consequential error messages with the unmodified version are visible when going to view a comment on a forum:

warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/local/www/data-dist/modules/node.module on line 359.
warning: implode() [function.implode]: Bad arguments. in /usr/local/www/data-dist/modules/node.module on line 364.
user error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/www/data-dist/modules/node.module:358) in /usr/local/www/data-dist/includes/common.inc on line 99.

Additionally I get an Access denied error at the bottom of the page where the content would be. Changing the line to the newer version eliminates the errors completely.

Cheers
