More info please. Which version of Textpattern, under what circumstances do you 
see the error, etc? It could be a plugin.

OK, I know why it's doing it. If you shut off the admin tab entirely, 
txplib_head is still trying to populate the multi-edit dropdown with a call to 
the privs() function that is contained in include\txp_admin.php.

Under the core, it's never be possible to switch off the admin tab (primarily 
because of the password change functionality) but plugins like bot_privs and 
smd_user_manager permit it and should be protected from this kind of (lack of) 
encapsulation error.

Simplest solution would be to move the privs() function out of txp_admin.php to 
one of the library files. Alternatively, Gocom is working on refactorisation of 
the multi-edit toolset which might bring with it a better workflow and less 
reliance on functions that are defined elsewhere.

So we'll sit on this for a few days and see what happens with the multi-edit 
code changes; then resolve it either way next week.
