Comment (by juergen74):

 For me this seem to be a problem of Themes or Plugins calling the Function
 get_the_content() outside of the Loop.

 So if you call it outside the loop the global $pages = null

 There are some easy fixes for this error: Don't call the function from
 outside of the loop! :) And if you see a theme or plugin that is doing
 that, ask the developers to fix it.

 or we could check $pages for null and return an empty string right at the
 begining of the function.

 {{{
 function get_the_content( $more_link_text = null, $strip_teaser = false )
 {
         global $page, $more, $preview, $pages, $multipage;

         if (is_null($pages)) { return ''; }    // new line

         $post = get_post();

 ....
 }}}
