 Encountered a fatal error today:

 ''Fatal error: Call to a member function wp_rewrite_rules() on a non-
 object in /Users/chrishoward/Dropbox/wp-mba.dev/wp-includes/rewrite.php on
 line 301''

 Did some testing, and $wp_rewrite was null.

 Line 301 is:

         $rewrite = $wp_rewrite->wp_rewrite_rules();

 Changed it to:

         $rewrite =
 !empty($wp_rewrite)?$wp_rewrite->wp_rewrite_rules():false;

 and things seem to work.

 Not sure if the true problem is the 3rd party plugin that called this
 function, or WP, but I do think there should be some sort of protection in
 WP from getting a fatal error in this rare circumstance.
