Strange .htaccess file getting created in plugins directory

    I have a strange issue:

    For some reason, an .htaccess file gets created automatically in WordPress’ plugins directory, and it reappears when I delete it.

    Here’s the contents of the file:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule $ /index.php/404
</IfModule>

    The code causes problems as you can imagine, as some plugins can’t find their files, like images etc., anymore. The problem might be related to updating plugins, as I started experiencing it after updating two plugins today.

    I have absolutely no idea what is causing this, maybe it’s not even WordPress that’s doing this. But I have no idea where to look for hints as to what might be the problem.

    WordPress version is 2.8.6 by the way, not 2.8.5 as it says in the sidebar.

    OK, found the culprit by disabling all plugins and re-enabling them one at a time. A plugin from InLinks was responsible for the problem.
