 Writing a complex template management panel, I've found that is
 impossibile to use multiple wp_dropdown_categories because of a function
 called stamp_cat() , that is located inside &get_categories() and re-
 instanziated every dropdown request. This produce errors like:

 Fatal error: Cannot redeclare stamp_cat() (previously declared in
 /Users/gomez/Sites/wpmu/wp-includes/category.php:99) in
 /Users/gomez/Sites/wpmu/wp-includes/category.php on line 99

 I moved stamp_cat outside &get_categories, and it works for me. I've also
 made a patch for that, but I'm not sure if this can have some downside in
 other areas (maybe there's a reason for stamp_cat to be there, and I
 simply can't know it).

 Bug first reported on <a
 href="http://trac.mu.wordpress.org/ticket/420">WPMU Trac</a>, and bounced
 back here because is a shared issue.
