 The function to call categories does not appear to be working as I am
 expecting.

 As I understand from looking at the code, for WP2.1 post and link
 categories are to be amalgamanted. Functions are being written that allow
 WP and plugins to seperate categories containing only links and those
 containing only posts.

 At the moment the blogroll page (link-manager.php) calls the
 '''get_categories''' function as follows:

 get_categories("hide_empty=1&type=link");

 but on my test site it returns categories containing POSTS not LINKS.

 Is this a defect in the code as I am unable to find a way to call link
 categories only?
