[wp-hackers] Bug in get_categories when asking for category children?

[Knut-Olav Hoven]

Hello.

When asking for categories that are child of another category (cat1) and to 
include empty categories I get different behaviour wether cat1 has children 
or not.


Take the following code:
## CODE ##
$cat_children	= get_categories(
	array(
		'child_of'	=> 1,
		'hide_empty'	=> false,
	);
);

print_r($cat_children);
## CODE END ##


Scenario 1:
I have the following categories:
1 - cat1 (no parent)
2 - cat2 (no parent)
3 - cat3 (parent:1)

In this case it prints out cat3.


Scenario 2:
I have the following categories:
1 - cat1 (no parent)
2 - cat2 (no parent)

In this case it prints out cat1 and cat2.


What I want/need is the function to return an empty list, simply because cat1 
doesn't have any children.


Running WordPress 2.2.2.
